I guess I’m just saying it doesn’t appear to meet it’s specs, or at least it’s specs can be met only under certain constraints, something a purchaser should be aware of. I will continue to use it, as it’s basic functions, resistance and DC voltage, do work very well. I usually measure amperage through use of a bench supply or a low value, high wattage dropping resistor.

regards,
Mike Willegal

I think my expectations were lower that yours – I use it for voltage, current, and resistance measurements but consider capacitance and frequency more of a gimmick. I use an LC meter for inductance and capacitance measurements, a counter for frequency, and a ‘scope for low AC voltages.

I recommend this LC meter: http://www.aade.com/lcmeter.htm
