So how does a Heath VTVM compare to a RS FET VOM? Mine has similar or
better charactistices to a VTVM. I guess I am too young as I never used a

All the "probe" needs to be is to have a 1M resistor _at the probe
tip_, for DC measurements only. Worst case you can make a probe and

Hey Guys,
I have a Fluke and numerous far east dmms. The 260 and and old heath
vtvm are still used as well. Peaking and nulling on a dmm is no
funand the bar indicator on some just is not as nice s an analog
meter.

Me too. They're much more tolerant when (not IF) you try and measure 500VDC

I also use a Fluke ... many cheaper DVM's have greater AC and DC tolerances. I
however like the Simpson 260's analog dial for reading milliampres.

I second the Fluke nomination. Big easy to read display and very bullet

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.

Something with a fair sized display for my aging eyes would be great. My
ancient analog VOM doesn't cut it anymore. I don't need laboratory accuracy,
just a reliable instrument.
