Hello again K,
Thank you, and glad to be back. We had some interesting times in forests down South, one of us got a small scorpion sting and got slightly neurotoxic, and I got bit by a moth that drinks blood! Lots of scratches and scars but a good workout. I brought my Radio Shack DMM with me [ Sanwa clone] and while the electronics are OK, its flip casing broke in half at the swivel joint. My camera flooded underwater. So, the trips are stressful for electronics that's for sure. We break a lot of things.
I wish Sanwa would make a more durable casing. As the website suggests, its a popular model, running now for many years.
http://overseas.sanwa-meter.co.jp/index.php?pm7aAgilent is wise by giving its 1272 to many reviewers, by giving the DMM to so many different work conditions they can get good feedback from a 'multi' use meter and show its appeal for anywhere a DMM can be used. With so much stuff now electronic that can be used in even the remotest part of the world, a DMM is best tough.
FWIW, these DMM are not rated to be used in commercial flight, as planes are pressured to 10,000' and the DMM are rated at altitude and humidity 2000m [ 6000'] and 80-90% RH [jungle typically reaches 100% at 100F]. Even the rugged 28II is rated similarly.
Yes, just read Dave has one too! Great to compare notes including PetrosA original review!
Hi S.
Its nice having you back .. ( safely returned )
Your Field test, sounds interesting , and it is totally different from my ,
Dave also got this DMM on his hands .
And so , soon enough, three people are going to do their homework about the U1272A,
three totally different between them professionals .
This sounds all ready tremendously interesting , and it is .
