Default looking for K type multimeter, and thermistor

hi

I don't have any electronics background

I am looking for a multimeter with a K-Type plug socket,

And a Thermistor with wires going to a K-Type connector so it can plug
into it.

I will get a table of resistance to temperature, with the thermistor.

so I can measure the temperature of things.



I tried calling maplin technical(0906... thus expensive), but they
said they no longer sell K-Type multimeters. They prob know alot.

He said he thinks any multimeter with K-Type plug would support
thermistors and thermocouples.

He suggested I try RS components.

I tried RS components technical (0845..). She mentioned a multimeter.
It was extortionate - Fluke 179. £211, or £266 calibrated. The
calibrated one comes with bead type thermocouple. She said she
doesn't know if it supports thermistors too. The description only
mentioned thermocouple. I asked her - aren't they usually about £20.
She then mentioned another range that was £40, but I said forget it.


Does anybody know of a multimeter that does what I want?
Am I looking at the right price range? £20. Or should I be looking
at £40?
More than £40 is really too much.

There are cheap multimeters I have seen at maplin at one time, going
for 6 quid, just not with K-Type sockets.

thanks
