Hi Christine,

Yes that is a multimeter but not multi enough. Return that one and get the model which can read milliamps (mA) , probably slightly more expensive.

Get some extra fuses for the milliamp scale while you are at it. You are bound to blow one sooner or later. My favourite method of fuse destroying is to measure a voltage when meter is setup to measure milliAmps. No flash, smoke or bang, just nothing.

Hi.  Is it possible that a digital multimeter - and it is advertised as a
digital multimeter - at Radio Shack Not be able to state Mas?  The one I
purchased clearly stated it was a digital multimeter on the package but
there is no way to get an Ma reading.  Volts, yes.  Resistance, yes.   But
no current reading.  Is this a multimeter?  Also you could not tell that it
did not give Ma readings until you bought it and opened the package to see
the instructions (for a novice anyway).

Now I have to return the darn thing and get something else.

Be careful of the multimeters at Radio Shack.  They may not be what they
appear to be.

Christine
