Re: Low cost L-C meters

I built the kit from

and it did not work right after I built it.
I had to order a replacement IC to get it to work.
Furthermore, it is a finicky piece of test equipment,
and I am skeptical of its accuracy.
So before anyone buys the lc-meter from
please do a Google search for reviews of the kit.
The kit itself went together in a straightforward manner.
No problems at all, putting it together. Rather simple, actually.
But it isn't worth the money I spent on it, IMO.
Judging from the schematic, it is based on the Phil Rice LC Meter 2.

As a radio-related electronics hobbyist, I also need an

This is what I have found during my searches for such a thing:



Ken,
I built the original version of this and agree it is surprisingly accurate. But as it is basically an AADE..
The original just needs a 1000pF 1%, I see the new version? does not need one in the construction but an accurately known value to calibrate.

Unfortunately for me, the AADE LC Meter2 is no longer available.

There are versions of this for sale, the ones I've seen are not particularly cheap, and do they work as well?
