Greetings from a fellow cheapskate. Unless I have missed something too, assembling a K3 does not require you to measure anything to an accuracy of a hundredth of a volt. You merely need to verify that things are in the ball park. I bought a 5 GBP ($10 to you) DVM from the local hardware store when I built my K2 several years ago, since all I had was a Russian-made analog VOM about 25 years old. All the measurements on the K2 checked out right where they were supposed to. I prefer to spend money on things that are going to be used. My advice would be, get the cheapie. -- Julian, G4ILO K2 s/n: 392 K3 s/n: ???
