For those at the club meeting last night, I had a few questions about the
component checker.
It is a generic device that a number of Chinese manufacturers are selling
on eBay, and most are about the same quality.
Here are two selections from Amazon available with prime, one with, and the
other without a case.
- With case:
https://www.amazon.com/Multifunction-transistor-Capacitor-Inductance-screwdriver/dp/B071Y5CHPK/
- Without case:
https://www.amazon.com/Aideepen-Mega328-LCR-T4-Transistor-Capacitance/dp/B01M0UXHYY/
Other stuff...
My newer analog multimeter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MI6T0IW/
Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) Capacitor checker:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/MESR-100-ESR-Capacitance-Ohm-Meter-Capacitor-Circuit-Tester-Resistance-Measuring/291575836211
Also, the LED tester box from Jack:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/LED-Tester-Box-Mini-Light-emitting-Diode-Piranha-tester-BOX-2-1ODUS/113776151008
Stay tuned for a write-up on the field strength meter mod using the Harbor
Freight freebie multimeter! If you want to see where I got the idea and
circuit, it's from a QST article from Feb 2015. Let me know if you need any
diodes for this project. I have PLENTY.
73!
