Digital LCR Meter

[Circle C Digger]

I'm looking to buy a Digital LCR Meter for my coil building project. Can anyone recommend a good handheld meter under $100? I've seen a few on Ebay, but they are located in Hong Kong. Not to easy to return if they are junk.

I can recommend an Atlas LCR meter, as I have one. It's invaluable.

Look at this meter

Esteban,

Check out this meter link: http://thunting.com/geotech/forums/s...ad.php?t=11102

This L/C meter is very accurate for making PI coils and measuring coil-to-shield capacitance.

Bbsailor, thanks very much! What we expect of adapter for digital multimeter with 1% tolerance resistors, multiturns trimmer potentiometers and very good caps? (see pdf):

Also - here's the company's website -> http://www.peakelec.co.uk/acatalog/jz_lcr40.html
In the UK it only costs £79, and here it says it's $130 in the U.S. ->

thanks

I have the same. It has a very good accuraty. It is a good meter with large display. The construction quality is medium:confused: . If anyone wants to buy it i say YES.
