A 'general purpose' DVM was purchased by me at Radio Shack a little over a year ago... I use it mostly for checking diodes, and my 75m frequency. Although, it will read up to 600V, and not more than 4 Mc. A pretty good deal for $29.95. Auto-ranging, with capacitance checker, as well. > The fluke RF probe is limited to 30 arms and 200 vdc.
