Ah - sort of know what that is but didn't know the name.
So all in all a very useful bit of kit.


I've got one of those things that sends an RF signal up a cable and you
trace it with a receiver. Was very useful on the one occasion I needed it.


I tend to use one of the ones that injects a high level of audio into
the wiring and then trace it with a handheld detector, my current one
gives a rather spooky warble, great when used in the basements of old
mansion houses! :-) Also the detector makes a good mains cable
detector too.


But the ESR meter gets much more frequent use. ;-)

After all the discussion on ESR meters here, I am planning on adding one
to my kit.
