If all you want a DMM for is to complete those six steps then even $10 may be too much to spend. (dry humor) Certainly, your "30 year old RS VOM" will suffice. Beyond getting the K3 assembled, I imagine the advice you're getting relates to selection of a very handy tool to have available in general. Everyone should have an adequate one and your current VOM may still be fine, if not as convenient and fancy as the newer digital models. 73, Ed - W0YK _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
