I 've also got an AADE LC meter (our club's Project Day from last
spring, a dozen of us built them) and I can also vouch for it. It's
a fine meter, was fairly easy to build, and is very easy to use. I
used it quite a bit while building my K1 and K2, to verify the values
of some of the hard-to-read caps, and verify the values of the
toroids I was winding.
No relation or interest in AADE, just a satisfied customer.

I just built the AADE (Almost All Digital Electronics) LC meter
kit, it's a very nice little unit and biased towards ham radio,
being very good at the smaller values of L and C that we encounter
in antenna/RF work. It took me about an hour to build, and I'd say
it's worth the $99 or so it cost - I think it was $105 or so with
the shipping. The documentation is not up to Elecraft standard!
But, the parts are so few it's not so bad, just read the
instructions and notes through first and you'll be OK. You can get
it factory built for $30 more. I hope this message isn't too
SPAMish but if you need an LC meter in a hurry you may be tempted
to get the B&K 878 which costs over 2x as much and you won't have
that hands-on understanding. This is a very solid and easy to use
unit. 73 de Alex NS6Y.
