For that price I'm expecting a Higgs detector.
And powered by dilithium crystals.
Seriously it's a damn good meter for the money, though temperature would be handy and I'd pay a bit more to have that. Save carrying two meters.
It's OK, but nothing special apart from the price.
The missing mA range is a bummer I don't see how people can lose sleep over a dead spot in the uV range but not worry about lack of mA. The square wave output is a waste of a selector switch position IMHO.
I actually prefer using my AN860B+ to my AN8008 even though it's bigger. The AN8008 feels really cheap and plasticky in comparison.
I've got my fingers crossed that the AN8008 is just a clever marketing move to sell a load of meters and the 'AN8009' will be the
real multimeter - the meter that everybody wanted in the first place, ie. with temperature, mA and the missing REL/MIN/MAX buttons built in. We know the chipset can do it...
Size-wise, I'd like it to be a
little bit bigger than the AN8008. The selector switch could stick out a bit more at the ends instead of having them rounded off into the dial, too.
Also: The AN8008 screen contrast needs a
lot of work and the backlight is pathetic.
