[Lowfer] L/c meter for $35 on ebay

[Paul Daulton]

Ed my friend Dave WA5WKO just got his in the mail yesterday. Same del 
time as you experienced, 10 days. 

We spent the morning testing it against the AADE and I agree it 
performs as well. 

DAve also ordered a DDS function generator(0-5mhz) which looks to be of 
the same caliber as the LCM, when it comes in I will let the group know 
how it works.
