Watching this thread with great interest, especially the "wg=hat
frequency to measure at" stuff. My AIM4170 is supposedly a good tool,
it's the operator here that lacks knowledge and confidence in using
it. I also have a Fluke / Philips PM6303A RCL meter that would have
been VERY expensive new, but it measures only at 1KHz, as far as I can
tell from the manual. When you see specs in ARRL build plans for say a
.8 uH indctor, or see a 5 uH inductor advertised, there must be a
definitive measuring method to arrive at the value, surely?

Glad you posted, I feel I ask too many questions ;)
