Hello Jeff,

I expect that, like many similar meters, the 200mV range is used with a
stepped value shunt resistor to measure the current.
If this is true, the 200µA range should behave as a 1000 ohms resistor, the
2mA range as a 100 ohms and the 20mA range as a 10 ohms, the 200mA range as
a 1 ohm, etc.
Which can give us the two highest values in that stepped chain: 900 ohms
between the 200µA and the 2mA position, 90 ohms between the 2mA and the 20
mA position.
Is the 20mA range still functional ?
If so, you can use another meter to measure the resistance between the leads
on the 20mA range to confirm.
