[Elecraft] DMM Recommendation

[John Young]

   I think meters are like shirts - one size does NOT fit all.  I have 
my 20 year old Fluke 73, several $2.99 Harbor Freight DMMs and some in 
between.  Each fills a need.  In the case of the Harbor Freight it is 
almost cheaper to buy a new meter than replace the 9v battery.  When you 
blow up a cheap meter you can just pull out a spare and get back to work.
