    Subject: Good instrumentation values . . .
    I spotted this instrument a few months ago and noted that it was capable of BOTH AC and DC, clamp-on current measurements. Practical DC measurement has been sorta the final frontier in clamp-on DC current measurement. I have a couple of early examples that clamp around a DC power feeder but they proved finicky and not very satisfying for accuracy. Fluke and Tektronix have offered clamp on DC measurement tools for decades but not a prices attractive to frugal wire slingers. Ran across offers for this critter a few months ago: https://tinyurl.com/yeju6nrz I've been using it in the shop for several months and found the DC current feature to well behaved and accurate at readings above 20A . . . but still very useful below that value. There are several versions but the "D" version, while the most expensive, measures everything including the kitchen sink. Poked around and found it advertised at a fair range of prices. This citation is one of the lowest. I recommend this critter as an excellent value. I'll update the List on future observations for utility.

    On the linked webpage, it says that "There is a newer version of this item". The newer version costs $90 and measures inrush current and mentions VFD (Variable Frequency Drive?) and LOZ Mode, whatever that is. Those additional features might not be useful for aircraft. No sense paying for unneeded features. The basic meter for $48 is affordable. Thanks Bob. -------- Joe Gores Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=510573#510573

    One trick I learned when Amazon first came out was before buying ANYTHING, I check the manufacturer's website. Instead of $90 or $48 how about $37.50?

    Whoops, actually order it through this link and I get some sort of deal on something: https://kaiweets.com/?sca_ref=3566512.M9CsSPDLpJ On Sun, Apr 2, 2023 at 5:08=AFPM Sebastien <cluros@gmail.com> wrote: > One trick I learned when Amazon first came out was before buying ANYTHING , > I check the manufacturer's website.

    Hello Bob, Do you have a technical document on the process of identifying the source(s) radio noise? I have searched your website and I couldn=99t find what I was looking for. Thank you, Paul
