Again a new toy in the shack... A LCR meter

Saturday my new gadget arrived in the mail....

A LCR meter......


It is a Vichy DM4070.... i never.... and i realy mean NEVER ever heard of this brand.....
Well until Hans, PD0AC told me to get this one....
It costs close to nothing..... The cheapest on eBay.com is $24.90 !!!

And i do understand why now.. looks and feels very rugged... And for accuracy ... the tolerance of a capacitor itself outweighs the tolerance of the DM4070...

I did not use it yet to see how it all works but that will not take too long, i'm sure....


for the techies... some shameless copy from ebay....

  1. Congrats! Now don't make the same mistake a certain ham made (we both know him well), who accidentally tried to measure voltage...
