Bill, As long as one keeps in mind that Bird's reputatiom for accuracy has become a thing of the past. There are many more current products that surpass them.
Always bear in mind that their odd meters (30 uA) are very non-linear and measurements made using element ranges that fall in the bottom 1/3 or so of the scale are the most accurate. Overall, they claim to be accurate to +/- 20 percent of full scale. HORRIBLE in today's world! FWIW ... 73!
