The latest and best Bob Parker design and successor to
the famous Dick Smith ESR/Low Ohms Meter.
Welcome our two newest distributors: Main
Electronics (USA & Canada) and
Trans Electronic Services (Australia)
What our customers say:
I'll tell you why I DO feel lucky, and that's having
purchased from someone who still understands the meaning of
customer service! That goes a long way in my book (well, if
I had a book). - Tod
Thank you very much for the Blue ESR and Blue RT kits.
They worked out very well and I can honestly highly recommend
your kits. I am very impressed with the quality of your kits
and the detail that you provided to make the assembly absolutely
painless. - George

Blue
ESR/Low Ohms Kit battery not included
$79.00  Fully assembled, tested and aligned
including 9 volt battery $109.00
Quality test leads with banana jacks
and alligator clips included. You can add the optional
croc clips and/or probes or use your own
Easy access battery compartment.
The easiest assembly ever. All components
are on the solder masked pc board.
On board diagnostics to detect assembly
errors
MkII firmware, Bob's latest.
Best battery lifetime, circuits function
down to battery voltage of 5.5 volts
This handy and affordable meter measures
capacitor equivalent series resistance (ESR) in the
circuit. ESR is a very important characteristic of capacitors
greater than 1 ufd. This meter makes measurements which
are often impossible to check with capacitance meters.
See the electrolytic cap
ESR problem for more information on ESR.
Also great for measuring very low values
of resistance.
