Jim,
I imagine different DMMs have different lower ranges, but what ever the
lower range is, you can measure even smaller capacitors by paralleling them
with one that does fall into the lower range of your particular DMM. First
measure the value of the capacitor that falls within your DMM's
Jim, W1FMR asked:
What is the lowest capacitance value you can measure with the popular DMMs
?
(in picoFarads ?) DMM specs do not spell out what the minimum capacitance
is..

My Radio Shack DMM will accurately measure capacitance as low as 2 or 3 pf.
It has a
Jim, from memory typical DMM's do not have low capacitance ranges. I have a
LCR type portable DMM that has more useful ranges, but is not so good for
voltage and current measurements. It's lowest capacitance range is 200pF
full scale so it's possible to measure C's in the pF region. Over

My Meterman 34XR has 4 scales - 4000, 400, 40 and 4 uF max scale,
resolution is 1

You won't regret buying the LC IIB meter when you can.
It is pretty much the defacto standard among QRP builders.
Good luck and 73
