Hello,

I'm looking for a transistor tester that tests gain and leakage of
transistors, also tests diodes and has enough current to light up an LED.
Would prefer if it would identify leads and tell me the voltage on the diode
/ low voltage zener and LED.

I am considering the M^3 electronixs model but what else is out there?

thanks,

Shaun

Thanks Phil,

That looks like a nice little unit. Now I have to decide which one to buy.
I have no problem soldering, the M^3 unit even comes preassembled if a
person is willing to spend a little more money. I've never heard of
Peakelec before, I guess that's because there in the UK.

later,

Shaun

** Been around for quite a while now - I've read lots of favourable
comments about them.
