That comes up a lot Chris. DMMs vary widely in what they do when "out of range" or even when the reading is within range. Also, the readings often vary widely when the probes are reversed. The manuals try to compensate for that by stating values that any decent DMM will indicate no matter how it's used.
The downside is a concern like yours in which the DMM agrees with the reading but by such a wide margin it "raises eyebrows", Hi!

Since some of the reading where in the 20K range I thought something might have been off. Just being careful since I really don't want anything to happen to my KX1. I guess things are ok then.
