The 4342A Q Meter is all solid-state so there are no fragile thermocouple components. Measures dissipation factor and dielectric constant of insulating materials, measures coefficient and frequency response; RF resistance, reactance, and Q of resistors and capacitors can also be determined. Uses push button operation of frequency range and Q/Delta Q range selection provides straight forward measurement. Automatic indication of meter scales, frequency dials and frequency multipliers. Frequency range from 22kHz to 70MHz in seven bands; Q range from 5 to 1000 in four ranges. Incorporates a direct-reading, expanded scale.
