 RE: HF Tester
Well, exchanged the item today, now have the one with the AGC probes.
Tried it in the aux circuit in my Westy, seemed to work well.  Turned on
the radio/CD player and watched the current draw go up from .5 amps to well
over an amp as I turned up the volume.  Showed 0.0 amps with everything
off.  And that is consistent with other measurements I've made with more
sensitive instrument.
One note that has been made.  This meter only has a resolution of .1 amps,
100 ma.  So a small parasitic draw in a circuit may not show up.  But if
that draw is less then 100 ma is shouldn't be of concern as far as drawing
a battery down.
