Boy Manual Man, you sure are right - I'm just another of those dummies that doesn't read every word like you guys that have business that service ham radio. I just have concern about the true intentions of the folks running the ARRL after their earlier attempts to change the ham radio world. I

I think that is a real good idea. I like to limit the frequency response, no point in being real wide, and control the modulation. I hear plenty of guys on the air under and over modulating, as well as operating 2 or more KHz away from where everyone else is operating. But I don't think you need

I think you mean it as a resolution of .001 volts. Accuracy is indicated as ±(1.5% + 2digits), which is still pretty accurate. Although unlike larger DMM's I doubt it has internal adjustment to recalibrate, so stability of that accuracy is really undefined. For our ham work it's a good deal
