OK. I'll trust your knowledge Dave. You know a TON more then I do. Absolutely, 100%. Done and done. Never questions that. You win.
But, "What Uni-T meters have you looked at? You asserted that "they are all crap". I was merely asking "Ok back that statement up!!?!?"
What other Uni-T meters have you had hands on with? Fair question. NO?
I'm betting that if you did another multimeter round up, that was up-to-date with the times, that a UNI-T would be a front runner in the $100-$150 range. no?
For me....as a "amateur" I think I'm in a nice spot. A 87-5 that I totally trust, and two UNI-T UT-61E's, and a 3478A. An ebay DMM voltage reference standard.
I'm NOT an Uni-T fan boy - far from it. I would gladly trade them in for something better. But as a 2nd, 3rd, 4th meter, they are awesome.
Personally, I think what I have is over kill for 99.9% of people. What am I missing? We can't all have voltage standards and current sources. You missed the point about price vs performance on this review IMHO.
There are a ton of people that are starting out, and need a decent meter, and will never measure +300 volts. So, perhaps, a mention of that in the review would be warranted?
