The fact that I hate talking about things I don't know personally, unlike quite a few people who have no problem doing the exact opposite, makes the way I do my hobby a bit more expensive. ;)
But for the “good” of all forum members.
And yes, I have just bought the miracle part for 143€. 8)

I've made a few of those purchases. Some of them are your fault! 😉

I didnt know the de5000 had an app, i dont mind using an app to see all that extra info.. im going to look in to it a little more, the screen shots of that app make it look like the best bet. Do i need to buy/make an ir thing to use the app or can will it work via USB?

Using an app is still much less of a hassle than setting up a VNA and 50ohm fixture or Scope/AWG to bode plot it. I do wish it could measure smaller inductances, but that is gonna be a problem with any meter under 500 bucks.

Would be interesting to see how well the ST42 stands up against our TH2830, IM3536 and DE-5000. We have some precision SMD components that would make a nice comparison.

Maybe we'll tackle this at some later date  ;)

See my reply above #33. The ST42 is what I used to help compare and work through the buggy firmware I had on the 2832 before it got corrected. I could send you one of the test charts if you want, they're also in the bench LCR thread.

Within it's specified limits, the ST42 was on point for everything I tested it with.

Its nuts to me an impeadence analyzer or top end LCR meter still costs so much money! I mean fast ADC and DDS chips are so much cheaper these days. Hell you can buy a 6ghz 2 port VNA for 600 bucks, but no one makes a 100mhz Z/LCR meter for under a grand..
