Chuck -
A couple of months ago I picked up a Velleman DVM, Model DVM890. It is
a 3 1/2 digit, manual range instrument. It does all the usual functions
(Ohms, DC Volts, AC Volts), plus capacitance, temperature (it comes with
a probe), transistor Hfe, diode checking, AC and DC amperes (to 20
amperes), and audio frequency to 20 KHz. The temperature probe works
from -50 to +1000 degrees C ( -60 to +1800 degrees F). I use it to
check temperatures of soldering irons and my solder pot.
It does not do inductance. But, for my money, it rates as a very good
buy. About the same size as a Fluke 8020. It has HUGE (1 inch
character height) display digits - good for us old guys <grin>.
Accuracy wise, it compares nicely with my Hewlett Packard 3478A units.
I did a quick Google search, and came up with the following link,
advertising a unit for $49.00 + postage.

You may be able to find a better price by doing a more extensive search.
or perhaps find a local dealer that will match that price. .

I would like to see some recommendations for a Digital Multimeter. The Fluke
187 is a little out of my range but something between my Walmart $29.95 special
and the Fluke would be nice.
