[sdiy] Anyone used the GS 3100 Handheld Capacitance Meter?

[John L Marshall]

Cynthia,

I use a B&K Precision 878 Universal LCR meter. It is not autoranging but
switching range is only the push of a button. It's operation is obvious.
It's fast, accutate and reliable

I have used it to match capacitors to 0.1%, or so it seems. I was building
some twin-T circuits.

Funny thing, The B&K 878 looks identical to the Global 3100.

Take care,
John
