I plan to look at the Brymen BM786 next. Normally I like to show several meters when I run the tests to give viewers some idea how they compare with the non-destructive tests.
Because the BM786 is a 60K counte meter and supports AC+DC, I am leaning towards meters that support AC+DC and are a minimum of 40K counts. I have a few meters that may be a good fit.
*Brymen BM869s, 50K, $230, repaired, no mods
*CEM DT9939, 40K, $120, repaired, no mods
*Fluke 189, 50K, no longer offered, virgin
Gossen M248B, 200K, $850, modified with added shield
*Summit TPI194II, 50K, $240, repaired, no mods
UEI 121GW, 50K, $213, virgin
*UNI-T UT181A, 60K, $300, repaired and modified layout but shouldn't impact the performance.
YOKAGOWA TY720, 50K, $500, repaired
I am thinking to rule out the Yokagowa and Gossen because of their high costs.
With it being a non-destructive tests, the UEI would seem like a good fit except it continues to have so many unresolved problems.
I plan to run basically the same tests I have been, starting with non-destructive and working my way up.
If there is anything you would like to see, outside of the normal, feel free to ask.
