[Elecraft] Multimeter Altitude Limits

[Craig Rairdin]

Plasma displays have a 6500' limit. LCD displays shouldn't have the same
limit, though I've seen specs on meters with LCD displays that say 6500'. So
maybe it's not the display.

Subject: [Elecraft] Multimeter Altitude Limits



While searching for a decent DMM to use during my K2 construction I noticed
several of them have an altitude limit of 2000m (~6500 feet). Since I live
at 7,600 feet and frequent altitudes at 10,000 while camping I am concerned
about this limit. A call to the Extech Tech Support line yielded a service
rep who was as mystified as myself as to this limit.

Any expert opinions out there concerning this issue? Any DMM recommendations
for a unit $60 to $100 or so?
