Alan, most any Fluke will do as the others have said, and I have two bench top models to attest to that. The handhelds are all very good meters. The Fluke 117 is near the best of the "affordable" line, and the 110 is at the bottom. Of these the 115 or 117 would be a good choice. The 83's, 85's and 87's start to get pretty pricey, and you really pay up for the accuracy.
An alternative to consider for less money is, believe it or not, a Sears Craftsman. You'll need to research the model numbers, but one of the two higher end models are very good meters with extra large numeral readout. I have the top model and keep it in my radio room in the drawer. Its a very handy meter, and accurate enough for most all I need to do. I got it off ebay, new in the package for $80. (almost hate to admit to that) Any one of the lesser models are also quality meters for less money. Good luck, David Wd9cmd ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: drakelist@zerobeat.net Sent: Wednesday, July 16, 2008 5:03 PM Subject: Re: [drakelist] DMM recommendation I second the Fluke nomination. Big easy to read display and very bullet proof. Just about any model would work nicely for you. Personally, I don't have the patience for autoranging meters and so prefer to set the range myself, and these tend to be a bit cheaper. 73 Lee WB6SSW --------------------------------------------------------------- No trees were harmed in sending this email, but a whole lot of electrons were terribly inconvenienced. ************** Get the scoop on last night's hottest shows and the live music scene in your area - Check out TourTracker.com!
