The lower pitch would benefit me too, I'll add that one to my search
list. I'm sure some of the import stuff is good, but since I'm not
up
snuff enough to diagnose issues, I prefer to pay for known quality
meters. Jon

I don't rely on the accuracy of the import meters I mentioned, I use
them for general portable troubleshooting and check them against
lab-quality Fluke and Keithley meters that I don't risk away from the
workbench, or for charging batteries or measuring power supply
current. The under-$5 HF meter is no great loss if dropped or fried.
Except for the test probes the two I use most have been reliable and
accurate enough for troubleshooting.

My ingrained habit is to stop and think twice before turning a meter
to the current or resistance scales. It's easy to forget the meter
setting when absorbed by the problem I'm trying to solve, twice as
easy if someone is watching.
