They work really well especially with the choke. They also make pretty good

TVs are not as available as they once were.

Thanks for the tip, Steve.
I just ordered 3 using the promo code - one for my emergency kit, one for
the office, and one for the garage. Note that shipping is a little steep ($
8.99) if you just order one.

I was able to order 20 using that promo code. Often I find that promo codes
are case specific although in this case it doesn't matter because I tried it
both ways and it works. I like the idea of populating the house cars with
one as well as my kids needs. This will leave a few left for
$10.49!!
Is this the correct price? I pulled up the website below and that is the
new price.

Dave, the guys say there is a code to get the discount. I looked at this unit
and it is only good to 300V...not much use in the world you and I work. The
leads are also permanently attached. Bad move.

For $3 it is a good move if you only need a basic meter. It is nice to have
one in your car if you run into car problems. Your kids and grandkids can
use them to check batteries for their gadgets. You are correct that you
won't be doing an HV work in your boatanchors. The only downside that I

My favorite Fluke meter stays on my workbench for the boatanchor tasks but
these bargain meters are fine for the garage/auto work, around the house,
for emergencies where voltages over 300volts are rare. As said in other

This is a good deal on sale, but like fellow noted, 9 bucks to ship it is
steep. Harbor Freight sells 3 different meters of this type, the cheapest
being $5 all the time, and usually goes on sale for a couple bucks. These have

The proposal study seems to focus on the VHF/UHF FM repeaters (currently
15 or 20kHz channel spacing - based on 70's and 80's design criteria)
and moving to narrowband channel spacing (12 kHz or less). Since more and
more narrowband equipment is coming into service these days, and things

The $2.99 meter at Harbor freight has removable leads, 1000VDC and
750VAC ranges, Ohms200 to 2000K, 10ADC and 200maAC and includes a
transistor tester and back lighting. I usually buy 5 each time I am
in there and I sometimes use them as panel meters in projects if there
is room behind the panel.

Is that Logitek from Fair Radio ?
No, but maybe they have them too. I got this one free from a fellow
broadcaster who was otherwise going to throw it away. It is really too
noisy (hiss) for my taste, but free is hard to beat, and I haven't
found a better rackmount mixer to replace it yet.
Another factor of the cheap meter in question is its size. I believe
it is smaller than the Harbor Freight units. Maybe that has a play in
the voltage limit.
Dimensions: 3 5/8 (H) x 2 (W) x 1 (D)
Shipping wasn't a problem as I was ordering a several other items from

then bring them to a hamfest and sell
And of course, at a hamfest, you can look at a guy's price for

I second that motion.

needed to make it worth the time. If they bought 10
