At $120 it's not a better choice the DER EE DE-5000, it has 100KHz? If we need the 100KHz on the Applent you need to get the AT-826A, not the 825A, that's a jump from $180 to $230, about $100 more than the DE-5000, but the Applent have proper 4 wire measurement. |

The cheapest 826 I can find on eBay costs 330$ + postage: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-APPLENT-AT826-Handheld-LCR-Digital-Meter-Electric-Bridge-100Hz-100kHz-/290931633508?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43bce06d64 The cheapest 825 goes for 190$ + postage: http://www.ebay.com/itm/APPLENT-AT825-Handheld-LCR-Digital-Meter-Electric-Bridge-100Hz-120Hz-1kHz-10kHz-/121127135336?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c33bd6868 Prices are even worse on Amazon. The DER EE DE-5000 (full set) sells for 184$ with free postage: http://www.ebay.com/itm/DER-EE-DE-5000-Fullset-High-Accuracy-Handheld-LCR-Meter-TL-21-22-23-IR-AC-DC-/161418672697?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item25954d7a39 |

Wytnucls, your right I was looking at euro prices. |

--- Quote from: Wytnucls on September 16, 2014, 09:09:01 pm ---AFAIK, the UT612 was never advertised as being equipped with a Kelvin connection. The tweezers provided are shielded though and so are the UNI-T clips sold on the internet. Some unscrupulous sellers advertised them as Kelvin, but if you know your meter, it is easy to tell that it has no 4 wire connections: The middle jacks are clearly marked 'Guard'. The peculiar LCD screen has been discussed at length. The CEM LCR meter screen is just the same. I really don't think it matters that much, but I understand that some people may be unhappy with it. I see that some UT612 are available for 120$ or less on eBay now, with free shipping: http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNI-T-UT612-Multi-purpose-LCR-Meter-Inductance-Capacitance-L-C-R-DCR-Q-D-ESR-/221392747637?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item338c093c75 And yours of course, with the Kelvin clips ;) : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Uni-T-UT612-digital-LCR-meter-/171457846139?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27ebaf1b7b --- End quote --- Wow this took off in a day. Its funny because after doing research since the last time I posted I also came to the conclusion to buy the AT825, especially after the video review. I like the Auto and A-B Feature. But I do get what your saying, although cant it share the common Guard and get the relative 4 points of measure as shown in action in the video?, Is the UT612 not just the same?(PIC BELOW) Unless something better comes out I will be buying the AT825 and the UT612(I have a all RED and Black EL Lab :palm: ) |

The 612 could be modified fairly easily for 4W measurements, but I don't think it's worth the effort, unless that would be your only means of Kelvin measurements or you're bored and are looking for a mod challenge. |
