- Please keep in mind two things: 1. The AADE meter measures inductance at a very low frequency. At VHF the inductance can be considerably different due to distributed capacitance between windings. The

- I wouldn't say it has "trouble". It is quite accurate, but only at it's relatively low frequency. For higher frequencies or for measuring the inductance of a resistor, you need an impedance analyzer

- The important measurement is not exiting air temperature, but rather the temperature of the ceramic to metal seal on the tube, which should not exceed 250 C for that tube. You should get some color-c
