  Nice, thorough review of the 37XR, David. I’ve had one for a couple of years, and for the general hobbyist/kitbuilding stuff I use it for, it’s been great. I bought it mainly for the inductance feature (why don’t more DMM’s have this?), and it’s nice to learn from your review that it’s built as well as it seems. Until I pony up the money for a Fluke, it’s a good meter.

  I’ve had a 37XR for probably 3 or 4 years now and it was a pleasant surprise to see that you’re reviewing it this time around. At the time I bought it, I was aware that Meterman was the same as the Wavetech company that came before, but I wasn’t sure if the change in the name (and possibly management) had allowed them to keep to the same quality standards as they had in the past.

  Your review of the 37XR is very accurate and I think I’ve made use of almost every feature the meter has on it. If I had the money at the time, I would have bought a Fluke instead, but looking back I’m also happy to say I certainly don’t regret the money I spent on the Meterman instead. Given the choice, I’d certainly buy it again.

  I have the same exact model! I bought mine used on Ebay after hours of googling. I think I paid $30.

  Okay, I’m going to admit my ignorance. What’s “burn voltage”?
