Hello!
I need to upgrade my meter. I've got an ancient Fluke 73 that I keep in the car, a Fluke 115 that has a stuffed diode test range. I also have a Tenma meter with good features, but it has terrible battery life and a crap continuity function.
I repair electronic stuff, ranging from scales, electric fence energisers, various musical instruments, etc.... I'm in a small city and I'm the designated bunny for a multitude of weird and wonderful things.
I need 1000vdc, a good fast continuity buzzer, capacitance to about 100uF and reasonable accuracy. I like the look of the 'new' Fluke 77, and it seems to have good battery life. The 177 has slightly better accuracy but I don't really need that. The price is near enough to the same.
Ideas??
