This is good news, Aurora. Before tossing your electrolytics, trying reforming them then retesting them. Its always interesting to see how many you can revitalize. |

Hi, Aurora Any further comements on your MS5308? I am trying to decide whether I should get the TH2822A or this Mastech MS5308. Regards, |

I have not used the Mastech LCR meter a great deal since getting it,due to other commitments. The checks that I have carried out using known faulty components and accurate known component values have shown it to be both accurate and reliable when taking readings in and out of circuit. I do wish Mastech had left the 4mm sockets fitted though. On several occasions meter probes would have been more useful than clips or tweezers. I may make up another plug in unit with 4mm sockets for just such a requirement. The build quality and 'feel' of the unit is excellent and I really like the design but it will not be everyones taste as it is a little bulky. For me the large screen and solid design are perfect. The ability to select 100kHz for the excitation signal is also very welcome. When I get some free time I will compare its performance with the Uni-Trend and Wayne Kerr LCR meters. The Wayne Kerr has not been calibrated in a long time though so I cannot use it as a true reference. The UT203 UT603 is a cheap LCR meter so I don't expect its performance to be anything exciting. Thanks to the LCR meter Chipset availability, there are more LCR meters appearing on the market with very similar specifications to the Mastech so I think we will see some very capable meters appearing at affordable prices. For me, the Mastech offered a complete kit (minus 4mm test lead capability) at a reasonable price. Would I recommend it to a friend ? Definitely ! Aurora |

PS. I have the DE5000 (I think the same chipset) and also impressed with its performance. Looking forward to Dave's review of it. |

OOOOPs ! Yes I meant UT603 :) As suggested, I will make up a 4 wire lead set to maintain good accuracy. Aurora |
