I feel like a dumbass for posting this. Sorry.

Another failure to understand a digital meter. I swear that the damn things put more folks in trouble than actually assisting them.

Digital meters should be avoided by most members of the forum. Only when the technician can see an obvious display error should they be purchased and utilized.

FWIW, I own two analog meters. One Radio Shack cheapie that does 90% of my work and a more costly and larger meter when I need very small resistances or when I need to read amperage up to 10A.
