[Elecraft] Just built AADE capacitance meter - great!

[Mike Scott]

The AmQRP ELSIE L/C meter kit will read capacitance down to 1pf. 
I found out with this kit that I don't like Manhattan construction so I
rebuilt mine on a homebrew circuit card and real switches vs. the kit's
instructions to make some Mickey Mouse ones.
I can share the PCB design. I put it and the 9V battery in a Whitman's
Sampler box. I think the kit is retired so you will have to find someone who
doesn't want their kit. They just ran a last lot earlier this year I think.

Is there a link where I can see more about this meter?  What model do you 
have?  I just spent $100 on a meter that claimed it could read capacitance 
and inductance only to find it won't read capacitance in pico farads.  And 
the inductance ranges it reads are to high for any use to me. That was an 
expensive lesson.
thanks,
