Al,

I stumbled across this site:

http://support.radioshack.com/productinfo/DocumentResults.asp?sku_id=22-174&Name=Meters%20and%20Scopes&Reuse=N

I could not get there by doing a search from the RS home 
page.   I was able to get some info.  Seems they tell you 
everything but calibration.  One line says for service, 
bring it to a RS store.  No schematic.  So much for that.  I 
think I will just live with it and try to remember to do the 
subtraction.  Previous units I had were only off by 1 or 2 ohms.

Thanks for your suggestion.

73,

Bill, K3PGB
