"If the holes were closely spaced, but far from the bulls-eye, the shooter was inaccurate but precise." I would suggest that this is an indicator of repeatability not precision. Andy, k3wyc __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

What happened to using a Simpson 260 or 270 or Triplet 603? Those are actually better for finding a peak or null, which in both cases are only relative.  If one works on HV amps as I do from time to time, you'll find the life of a DVM to be zap. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 11/30/2018 11:54

"Those extra digits on your meter may be meaningless." They may be meaningless or they could be very useful. Finding a peak or null, or looking for any small amplitude change, does not require absolute accuracy but high resolution can be useful. "A freebie Harbor Freight digital voltmeter
