I just tried that, as well as my other DMM, and the same thing is  
still happening. For what it's worth, I think the guts of my second  
meter (sold by Radio Shack) are actually made by the same company as  
my first meter (Metex Instruments).

I tried both auto ranging (as I keep the meter on) and the highest  
range (dual digit mega-ohm, so it could show 37.5 M for example).

I have installed the parts on the board that you install for the  
KSB2, for what it's worth. I don't think that would change anything,  
but there you go.

There is a tiny chance I have an old analog meter somewhere, I'll  
hunt for it tomorrow.
