Hi Chris, Coilers,
Take a look at the Wavetek Meterman LCR55 as well.  After months
of waffling over which one to get, I chose the LCR55, which I am
very pleased with.  It covers a wide range of both inductance
and capacitance, plus it does a good job of measuring low values
of resistance.  Great for a tesla coiler and a ham operator.

After having it mentioned to me multiple times now... I checked it
out, and it certainly does look like a useful piece of equipment.
It will still leave me with no frequency measurements, however.

The first hamfest I'm attending this year is 3 weeks out. Maybe
I'll hold off until I get back from there... if I can stand it :-)
If I luck into the right deal(s), maybe I won't need to have a
freq counter bundled into my future LC(R) meter. Never can tell.
