RE: Meter recommendations Meterman 37XR

Terry, All,

I recently bought a 37XR myself, and like you, think it's a great meter. The
only negative thing I would say is that is not as accurate as one might like
measuring caps in the < 100pF range. I think the leads add to much
capacitance. I still use an older meter with slots to plug the caps in for
measuring very small caps.

Other than that, it's a dream meter for the price. And of course, TCer's
don't oft need caps of such small value.
