Good little meter. Refresh rate on it is a bit slow, but it's a lot
better keeping a $3 meter in the emergency kit in the truck than a $350
Fluke meter.

Right! I have several analog and digital Simpson's plus that Radio Shack
digital that interfaces with PC, it's a nice meter, think it was made by
Fluke but still haven't found any reason to hook it to a PC other than just
curiosity.
The last HF meter I purchased was a little nicer (just a dab), had an on/off
switch separate from the selector switch and nicer (more flexible) leads.

You could use it to monitor home line voltage variations over time,see if
you're subjected to "brownouts".

I suspect they get their stuff in many cases from the same factories in
China that make the fancy name brands.
