Re: Recommend me a MultiMeter

What ever happended to the good ole days when you could just put your tongue across a battery and taste the juice? I got to try that on a CCFL port. Maybe I'll end up going "2 seconds to black".

Have someone videotape it. It could go viral on youtube

Wrong! Only the low end models (sub $150) are made in China.

The 70 series and higher are still made in the US.

Honestly when I opened a China model they were still as well built as the USA Flukes beautiful flawless soldering, dead on component placement, and not a drop of flux to be seen. They definitely made an effort to keep the quality up overseas.

Amazing that someone that's too cheap to buy a -real- ESR meter looks for ads for DMM's that cost over $200.

I would say "Fluke" dmm for accurate voltage ,and current measurments. and an analogue for testing diodes, mosfets , transistor etc.... I personally use simpson 260-6xlp, and fluke 87 III.

How did you use your multimeter to measure a cap?

What range did you have it on?

Re: Recommend me a MultiMeter

I use a Fluke 175, it's probably overkill though.
