since you have it aligned now you'll find yourself using it more and more......

I find it alot easier to see the needle move than to see digits change on the fluke....plus i think it is more sensitive to very small changes in voltage...like when aligning a radio

as far as your switch..i dont know

all the ones I've ever had have a separate lead for AC/OHMS and DC

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the radio was removed before bidding was over so I didn't get a chance to bid.dconant — 04:10 PM
