[Milsurplus] LCR Meter With Useful "L" Ranges?

[mstangelo at comcast.net]

David,

Most LCR meters measure in the audio range. You want a meter that measures at the frequency of interest.

I recommend an Vector Network Analyzer:

or

I built the N2PKVNA and bought a VNWA. They're great tools for accurate RF measuirements.

Is there an affordable LCR meter that will accurately read
the value of inductors of less than one microHenry?
Some of these "L" meters are a bad joke, with a low
range that starts at 2 milliHenrys, which is useless for RF work.
Yes, I know I could grid-dip and calculate, but that's not precise
and besides- I'm lazy.
Thanks!
