It seems several hams on this reflector have had difficulty reading and
measuring small capacitors (like me!!) . I recently purchased an L/C meter
from almost all digital electronics, AADE, www.aade.com. This is not a DMM
but measures inductance and capacitance only. It can measure capacitance
down to 1 pf accurately, It can also measure inductance as well. I have 4
calibrated capacitors and one calibrated inductor. In each case the
measurement error was about 0.5%. for me that's plenty good. The meter has
a zeroize function so that stray capacitance can be removed from the
reading. It comes with a small PC board with single line strip connector so
small two leaded capacitors and chip capacitors can be easily measured. I
have no financial arrangement with this company. I just think AADE provides
a great instrument at a good price. My $0.02 worth.
