is this unit suitable for measuring variable capacitors

There's no reason why it shouldn't work provided the capacitor to be measured is in the acceptable capacitance range of the meter. I will ask my friend, who is the user, in case there's any doubt.

Does it have a min/max function to detect voltage spikes?

The VC 99+ has a 'MAX/MIN' key which will store either the Max or the Min measurement while in this mode. Not sure if this is what you are asking!

Does this meter have an audio alert for continuity testing?

yes. When switched to Ohm range, press the blue button to toggle between functions, one of which is the continuity 'beep'.

We are needing to read around 45Hz to 70Hz . Will this one do that ok ?

Richard, there is nothing in the manual giving limits to the frequency range, it is auto ranging. However, as UK electric supply is based on 50Hz and American supply is 60Hz, I would expect the VC99 to cope with the range that you are expecting to read.
