Steve,
I haven't contacted him about the DFD2 not working yet. I really
should though since the counter worked fairly well during the time it
was working. Not as well as my Oak Hills DD-1 but fairly well anyway.
I may just be overly picky when it comes to PC board quality. I've
built several Small Wonder Labs kits, a couple from Oak Hills and a
couple from the AMQrp club. All with nice fiberglass boards, solder
masking, plated through holes, etc. That's kinda spoiled me <G>

The quality was very good. It's not a perfect design, his cut-outs
in the box are a bit messy and I don't like the banana sockets
sticking up as I can't just toss it in a case and into my toolbox
without worrying about breaking them. But otherwise I thought it
was good. Had it for well over a year, working great.
Did you contact him about your problems?

Steve,
How's the board/component quality on this kit. I bought his DFD2
frequency counter and was extremely disappointed with the
quality.
Paper phenolic board, cheapie components, worked for two weeks
and
went belly up!
I've been looking at the LC meter but I'm hesitant to buy one.

I bought this kit, also available assembled:
Very nice, from 1nH to 150mH, and .01pF to 1.5uF. Has an
internal
reference that it calibrates itself from each time you turn it
on.
