Thanks for your reply. Yes, the Uni-T UT61E is actually the lowest cost DMM i've seen with comms. I've heard about the ANENG 8009, but i'd like something that is also good enough for some mains work.
I have been taking a look at the Fluke 17B+ as well, but to my understanding, besides not being True RMS, it's also not that good for electronics work, as it isn't that accurate. In that regard an Amprobe AM-520 would be better.
I'm still deciding between the Uni-T UT61E, Amprobe AM-520 and Brymen BM235. The Amprobe has terrible continuity testing and the Brymen is quite expensive and doesn't have the features the UT61E has, on the other hand, it's independently tested.
