[Elecraft] DMM Recommendations -- Fluke 179?

[David Fleming]

+1 for the inexpensive offerings from Harbor Freight. I have several of these cheap knock offs. They’re certainly not professional grade instruments, but they are more than adequate for hobbiest level work. I use a small CEN-TECH model for quick voltage, resistance and current measurents.  It works well and was actually FREE with a coupon. The readings are very close to my trusty, much more expensive, Fluke 79.

In the past, I had Fluke and Beckman meters and, in my days in 
industrial electronic sales, I sold both of them.

In recent years, I've become a fan of the Chinese-made copies at Harbor 
Freight.  They have the functions but not the price.  At $19.99, I was 
able to buy a couple of them--one for the shack and one for the barn.  
You might give them a look before throwing money at the market leaders.
