but it's a lot better keeping a $3 meter in the emergency kit in the truck
than a $350 Fluke meter.

Right! I have several analog and digital Simpson's plus that Radio Shack
digital that interfaces with PC, it's a nice meter, think it was made by
Fluke but still haven't found any reason to hook it to a PC other than just
curiosity.
The last HF meter I purchased was a little nicer (just a dab), had an on/off
switch separate from the selector switch and nicer (more flexible) leads.
