Yes, it figures that you can do better on-line.

Thanks, but that isn't necessary. I just thought someone might be
needing a piece of test equipment at a low price. Those Fluke digital
multimeters are tempting at $39. Of course, I'd want to try one out
before buying, which is one thing you can't do on-line. <g>
