2. You cannot use a Radio Shack meter for any precision measurement.
Get a proper meter and you'll not have this problem.

This is not true.

Huh? No RS product is going to be noted for accuracy. Low price,
maybe, low quality probably, but not high accuracy.

It has nothing to do with "precision".

Using a simple digital meter, you can't make accurate measurements of
capacitors whose values are comparable to the lead capacitance. You need
more-specialized test equipment.


I'll agree with that... g The OP is lookng for the impossible.
