Sean,
Again, congratulations on getting the meter to work !
Calibrating L's and C's is indeed feasible, I'll need a few days to recover that information from my "old stuff' archives, I'll keep you informed as soon as I have it. It'll involve building some stuff but I'm sure you'll enjoy the fun, just as I did.
If you'd like to have a couple of 1855-0082s as spares, just let me know.
Keep in touch,
Joel
