[Elecraft] K2 - RF choke identification

[Don Wilhelm]

I finally broke down an purchased the AADE L/C meter after I got tired 
of doing the calculations required when using my homebrewed K6OLG LC 
Tester (the AADE meter is based on that LC Tester).  I believe it is a 
bit more trustworthy for small values than the typical DMM with 
capacitance and inductance measurement capability, but if all you have 
is the DMM, it can be a big help.  Some DMM LC measurements can be quite 
accurate, but I would not trust the exact measurements on a DMM until it 
has proven its worth - give it +/- 20% uncertainty until you prove it is 
more accurate - and remember that the leads contribute to stray 
inductance and capacity too, so your measurement fixture can be a big 
factor when measuring small values.
