Before anyone beats me, congrats on passing 4K subscribers Joe! I enjoy your dedication sir.
You definitely beat me, Cliff.
Congrats, Joe!
Thank you for your support. The channel is larger now than I ever expected it to get. I've certainly learned a lot about handheld meters in the process and hope others have as well.
Most recently I would say we learned that quality meters don't put vias in the function switch pads and don't route traces
between the pads where they may be damaged by the rotating contact. Seem obvious afterwards.
I'm sure I have upset countless people over the last few years presenting all this data. A lot of meters were destroyed in the process and nobody likes seeing their meter fail.
From my own perspective, I continue to look at them out of my own interest. To be clear, I have no axe to grind with any company as some suggest. Well, again I fully admit I was biased against Fluke from the start. Damn you Fluke for making such robust products....
I still have no plans to use patreon or enable ads. I appreciate those of you who have asked about sending me meters to run and such. I have still not looked into a PO box. The problem is really the lack of time to run them. For those of you wanting to support the channel, your views and feedback are more than enough.
