I have a Micronta (Radio Shack) analog meter made iirc in the 70s that
I bought at a hamfest in the last 10 years. It calls itself, and I
remember the ads, a Range Doubler meter, and has a knob to switch from
V-A to V-A/2.

I figured that V-A/2 would give readings that are half the real
values, but it seems like it is the opposite. They are twice the real
value and I have to take that value and divide by 2 (V-A/2?).

Is this the way it is supposed to be, or did mine get miswired
somehow? Did anyone other than Micronta sell range doubler meters?



I don't use it much because when I need analog I have a Lafayette
meter I bought in the early 70's that I like better, but I think the
range doubler feature should be very helpful. I wanted the meter in
the 70's and maybe 80's but couldn't rationalize buying it new, since
I had a VOM and really needed a VTVM.
