Since you like building, you'll like this kit. It gives much more accurate readings of L and C than the LC readings on my fancy digital VOM, and it's a great help when winding and/or debugging toroids and identifying capacitors with tiny cryptic markings or none at all. Of course, you need a VOM, maybe a nice signal generator like the XG-3, and an RF probe for your VOM. I love my scope but it's certainly not a necessity. I also have an audio generator I built from a Sparkfun kit that could sometimes be helpful.
