I ended up pulling the trigger on a 289! I've wanted 1 for a wee while now, i dunno why I just like the look of the meter. So I got 1!
I should get it in a couple of days.
I was looking at a Keithly 6 & 1/2 digit meter that's up on Ebay. I don't know what that will end up going for it looks like a really nice meter. I'll get a bench meter for sure next time!
There's just too many to choose from! If I like the 289 I think i'll get rid of my 177.....maybe! LOL I started saying that 3 meters ago and still have my 1st purchase! I will "this time" though?!
It's so addictive all the test gear, I just want to keep getting more even when I don't really need it. I was even looking at scopes too earlier today! It can be an expensive hobby right? I nearly convinced myself to get a scope too before I caught myself!
