Oh, just discovered the existence of that last night on a site called www.abledata.com. I also discovered another device that claims to work for any type of meter at all, suggestive of automotive, broadcast, TV and radio test equipment, etc in that audalevel series, going up to 4 channels to read 4 different meters. I wonder if Abledata isn't out of date on info about these products because they still show that things like the Zenith talking VCR's are still available at Ann Morris and such.
