There is another way to measure inductance and that if you have an MFJ-259 or similar you can use the method in the manual
Mike,
That would not be low-cost to me, I don't have one!
But yes, a way, many do have them. I wonder how accurate measurements can be?
The need for the standard, high accuracy inductors (and capacitors) might be a problem.
Inductors: 330¦ÌH, 56 ¦ÌH, 5.6 ¦ÌH, .47 ¦ÌH
Capacitors: 10 pF, 150 pF, 1000 pF, 3300 pF
Best if all were 1%?
It strikes me if anyone had that range of standards then maybe a calibration chart could be made up for one of the cheaper testers if they were found to be inaccurate.
A set of standards could be made up, what sort of glue should be used to secure the windings of toroids?
Then some one with reliable gear could measure them, odd values would not matter. Maybe a Club project?
