I don't get it, why would you buy this instead of a UT61E?

The VFC function is basically a low pass filter to to remove noise caused by variable frequency motors/drives. It they took input protection seriously this time this would be a nice meter for the money. If they skimped and lied bout the rating again then this would be a potential bomb ready to go off in your hand.
are you sure thats a clamp icon on the voltage jack.
Temperature, clamp, backlight, NCV...

I think we can reasonably expect it to be set for 230V.
Quote from: Monkeh on July 29, 2013, 12:15:45 amI think we can reasonably expect it to be set for 230V.Why? As I wrote above, it's possible to have a wider range than just line voltage. Additionally, the basic meter or stick NCV that trigger at ~100V will typically also trigger at higher voltages.
I really don't know why you want to argue this so much, it's like you feel personally attacked by this or something.
Sorry for upsetting you so strongly over such a simple question; I didn't know there would be such animosity when the possibility of voltages lower than 230V are brought to discussions.
Given that the UT136D only does 230V for NCV, its most likely true here as well. Remains to be confirmed, however.

Remains to be confirmed, however.Yeah, that is what I originally wrote... I am concerned because for what I do it would be helpful.
