I had an article somewhere that detailed how to attached a very simple home brewed device to a DMM for use as a FS meter.
Hm... I should give that a whirl. I'm sure a tuned coil attached to a DMM can suffice as a FS meter. I also have a radio shack 3-30MHz FS/SWR meter that says it can be used as a FS meter (I have my doubts).
