I just ordered one of these, mainly to match BJT's and jfet's.
Any good threads or sites with information on the best way on using this useful little device for matching transistors?
TIA

No info needed, connect the probes to the transistor and press test. Excellent device, essential tool for the discerning builder 😉
Get a test jig for SOT23 parts and use a breadboard with pin headers for leaded through hole parts. Solder leads for the probes to the pin header.
The hook probes take a hit eventually, get a spare set. https://www.peakelec.co.uk/acatalog/ups56-hook-probe-lead-set.html
Tip: use a clear lid or cover over the test jig to keep environment stable, even test each part twice to make sure. Test at the same time of day, close all door and windows.
Wear your best socks...

Thanks mate🙂
I've been wanting this for a while, no I only need an oscilloscope and my diy tool collection is complete 🙂

Yes, I did that already with my ebay/Aliexpress el cheapo component tester. So I'll keep doing that when using my new "toy"🙂
