Question to other AADE LC meter owners
Hi all,
I have just ordered for myself a kit for AADE's LC meter, and was reading through the instruction manual to get a hang of what's involved to get it together.
One thing I noticed as I was going through the parts list is that the design consisted of a pair of 2 capacitors, C2a and C2b, of which the total capacitance is vital to the operation of this thing.
I was actually considering swopping the capacitors out for some higher quality ones Wimas, but I guess I won't be able to do it now.
I don't like a tool that I don't understand how it works, it seems like the meter will potentially go "off" calibration after some time (http://www.cliftonlaboratories.com/a...ter_review.htm), and since I am assuming Neil is also a fairly old gentleman, it might leave me with a meter that I am unable to troubleshoot or recalibrate in the future!
Does anyone know the mystery behind the values of C2a and C2b? How are their values determined?
