[ARC5] GRIPE

[Bill Carns]

I am sending this to both lists.. (ARC-5 and Boatanchors)  (Notice that I do it one list at a time) This was brought up several days ago, but the lack of discipline on these two list and the amount of cross posting - which is bad on any list - is incredible.  When you guys cross post  (Use more than one reflector list in one email), it generates a dearth of problems and extra emails and also, in the case of the ridiculous auto sign up policy of the ARC-5 list winds up with me signed up to a list that I do not want and now do not know how to sign off of - because I never signed on.

STOP already with the cross posting and take me off of the ARC-5 list, whoever knows how.  AND, you guys that so cavalierly hit "Reply All" every time aggravate the situation.

You might try contacting WA2CWA, Pete in NJ.
manualman at juno.com

He has probably the greatest diversity of original and repro manuals of anyone I know of. Good prices, honest and great service. Good luck!

> “Metrix” model 460, Serial number 114105.
> AC/DC ranges: 3 volts F/S thru 750 volts F/S at 10,000 Ohms per volt.
> AC/DC Ma. ranges from 150 ua. to 1.5 amps F/S.
> Ohms: 0-20K F/S and 0-20M ohms in 2 ranges.

> The actual voltage ranges are: 3, 7.5,30, 75, 150, 300, 750, current 
> ranges are 150 ua.,1.5 ma., 75, 150 ma and 1.5 amp.
