I went to the Oro Valley Amateur Radio Hamfest in Marana, AZ and found a great deal on an LCR meter.
I’ve made progress on the Solder Smoke Podcast homebrew 40 meter direct conversion receiver. I didn’t have an LCR meter for testing the transformers of the mixer. It really isn’t necessary to measure the inductance of the transformers. Just making sure there are 10 turns is good enough. But I wanted to be thorough and wanted to makes sure I have an LCR meter for future projects. So I picked one up at the hamfest.
