Doug, I don't have an exact answer, but I do have a resource for you. I'm in the same situation, my 20 year old Fluke is no longer in my possession, maybe left at a job site, maybe stolen, who knows, but it's gone. I'm looking at a 197 with the extra cables, but my needs may be different than yours. Go here http://us.fluke.com/usen/products/prodSelection_Grouping.htm and you can see their different models and comparisons of features. The 114, 115, 116, 117 line are all in your price range. Pick which features you need and shop for best price. Bernie

I have a Simpson 260 analog meter and a bench ac operated Simpson 464-4 digital meter. I would prefer a Fluke digital portable multimeter. Yes, I have checked eBAY and there are over 400 Fluke meters of various models and functionality. So many to choose from. Can someone on the list recommend a reasonably priced new, [under $200] Fluke digital multimeter? Please, I am NOT interested in any Radio Shack products or anything from Horatio's Bargain Basement or Goodwill Charities or Bubba's weekly yard sale. OK to email me direct if you have something to offer [sell or trade]. Thanks. 73 Doug W7FDF Vail, Arizona U.S.A. 927.850/R IRLP node 3850
