Hi hi, just like my cheapo meter I bought for a dxpedition, thought it would be ideal just incase it got lost or broken, works OK but 'Key up' anywhere near it and it just goes into 'random mode', You get what you pay for... ;-) 73 Max M0GHQ

Harbor Freight sells 3 different meters of this type, the cheapest being $5 all the time, and usually goes on sale for a couple bucks. These have detachable leads too. Check them out if you have one in town, and save the shipping. All the el-cheapo meters come from China, and are marginal at best, so don't expect Simpson dependability or accuracy. They just might quit on you at the most 'Murphy' moment of need.
