Okay, we can figure out the internal resistance. Now, assume I find a 1ma fs meter that has an internal resistance different from what I need. Is it possible with a combination of series and parallel resistors to achieve the 17-ohm (or whatever it needs to be) resistance to make it swing full-scale and appear to have 17-ohms in the circuit? I assume so but I don't like to assume... Barry(III) - N4BUQ
