Review: Great LCR meter - BK has really out did themselves with this meter. It works just fine and is easy to calibrate. It did not take very long to figure out what all the buttons did. I really think it was worth the money as it paid for its self quickly the first week just testing capacitors alone. If you are looking for a nice well made easy to use LCR meter, this is it. I am happy with this purchase.
Review: Great meter - This meter is getting a work out since I do a lot of testing for component failures such as leaky caps and inducts as well as resistance. It never failed me to pin point out the bad parts that were once difficult to find. Now this makes it a cinch and in less time. Grest meter does what its suppose to do..
