It must be obvious by now that Fluke are either dropping the ball too often,
or their service agents are not worded up properly about how Fluke support works,
or both!
Tim5000s situation described above sounds like a feeble attempt to relieve him or her of more money
without fixing a WELL KNOWN meter issue that is Fluke's part blunder, not the CUSTOMERS!
To add more SALT to the wound they want Tim5000 to dump the 189 and fork out difference money and get a 289,
which bears NO RESEMBLANCE in functionality, [[
SIZE!!!]] and convenience to a 189, even though many of the specs are similar
i.e. the 189 is a sportscar, the 289 a pimped up pickup ute.
What the FLUKE is going on?
The competition is watching...note more orange Keysights, green Mastechs and red Brymens and Uni-Ts out there !
let's not forget those little rippa
BLUE meters that are quickly gaining favour too
