EXCELLENT survey, Mr. Beierl! And a fine tutorial, too. I started my career in electronics in the 5th grade using small analog VOMs, but it was fun to read the tutorials here -- while none of it was unfamiliar, much of it had been moved into my memory's subterrenean storage space. The Elenco M105 looks like just the ticket for the occasional time when watching shifting levels is more important than getting accurate measurements. -- Jack "Rocket j Squirrel" Elliott 1984 Westfalia, auto trans, Bend, Ore.
