I would be interested in seeing what info you have on the probe changes. Dick ----- Original Message ----- From: David & Chris Drake To: drakelist@zerobeat.net Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2008 9:44 AM Subject: Re: [drakelist] DMM recommendation
FYI to the group I too have a heath VTVM that I use frequently for receiver alignment and other uses. The probe is rarely included when you find one of the many versions (cosmetically) of pretty much the same design. The probe designed for these VTVM's is not necessary. The best thing to do is modify the input circuit, very simple to do. Then when the main switch is turned from AC to DC to Ohms, you have the correct input impedance and blocking. It makes the Heath as easy to use as the Simpson 260/270 series. You simply buy a set of standard probes and a stereo 1/4 phone plug and wire the two leads to it. I have the information here somewhere and can supply to anyone who wants. Its also available on the internet.
