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. If you are inclined to email me for some reason, remove NOPSAM :-) |
