My Fluke doesn't measure caps below 100pf, so to test the K2's 12m BPF caps (including the 1pf), I ended up getting some cheap $15 made-in-China-junk called a "Honeytek A6013L Capacitor Tester" and assumed I would be returning it...but I was quite pleasantly surprised at its ability to pretty reliably measure the 1pf cap. Anyway just another data point... Bob / K0LAK
