With small scale meters the digital is easier to read when you are looking at less than 1 Volt increments. When your chasing voltage drops the digital is better. I still have a bench top analog. The six inch meter scale is easy to read but a mess to try and use in the van. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• jimt Planned insanity is best.
