   As others have posted the TS-352 is a multimeter. The 
"kit" is an addition that allows voltage measurements to 
5KV. I made simple adaptors to use AAA batteries in place of 
the original 4.5 volt ones.
   I use mine frequently because it has both 1000 volt per 
ohm and 20,000 volt per ohm deviders. The 1000 V/Ohm is 
useful for much old equipment where the voltage charts were 
made with such a meter. While the higher resistance is more 
accurate it can be misleading when measuring old equipment. 
For instance, the voltages specified for the Hammarlund 
SP-600-JX are all made on a low resistance meter except for 
the grid voltages which specify a VTVM. The only drawback to 
the thing is that its quite heavy.
