Way back when I was looking for a dip meter I originally wanted that Ambit/Cirkit meter designed by G3WPO but it wasn't available when I was looking. I think it was being revised in some way (and wasn't available anywhere) so I bought the Maplin meter instead. Maybe it was because of that choke but I think they had changed the design quite a bit when it became available again.

I notice that MFJ make a dip meter (MFJ-201) that looks just like my old Maplin meter and it seems to be priced at nearly £180! There seem to be several meters that look very similar and they all appear to be in an enclosure based on the old Heathkit HD-1250 dip meter design.
