[Elecraft] K2 Arrives - WTCPT question, DMM Question.

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

This is NOT my day: I wrote "never, never use an older multimeter meter on
modern solid state gear!! They typically put enough voltage on the circuit
to destroy a roomful of I.C.s and transistors. The voltages they use in ohms
scale were completely harmless around vacuum tube gear, but absolutely
"deadly" around most solid state stuff."

I'm speaking about resistance measurements! The voltage the old multimeters
apply to a circuit when measuring resistance is deadly to most solid state
equipment.

Okay, back to work here and no more stumbling around on the reflector.
Sheesh!
