Yeah, just received 121GW 2 days ago, and the firmware reads 2.05, no idea if that's actually from Welectron, but I ordered it directly from EEVBlog shop online. Delivered to UK by DHL courier and it originated from Australia.
Thanks Dave for your reply. Can I ask what is the changelog for 2.05, please?
I now have v2.05
They changed the low pass filter curve to better match the performance of the Fluke 289, which I guess they are using as a sort of reference.
I don't know the full Story with the shim that some revisions needed because of a wrong pcb thickness, so:
Do i have to check if my meter needs the shim, or were no meters sold without that fix?
Stick to good brands, like Littelfuse, Cooper Bussmann or Siba if you can, otherwise examine the datasheet carefully for compliance.
Beware of fakes on ebay and other places. Because of the very high potential margins on these, the market is awash with fakes.

The cap plating was also slightly dull and difficult to get a good low resistance contact with my meter leads, when I did a low ohms resistance check they all measured higher resistance than the fuses supply by the EEVBlog shop.
Thanks Dave for the much cheaper quality fuses.
What does everybody think about unpinning the 121GW discussion threads? I love mine, but I think the topics have quieted down enough that maybe we don't need three (or even one) of them pinned anymore. Just a thought...

I've thought that for a while as well. I'm actually surprised that Dave didn't consider it when announcing the new Brymen meter. Then I thought it's a Brymen and is going to work....
The TE thread is popular enough it stays on top so it also makes little sense to me.
Others threads also seem old and unmaintained and I wonder the same thing. What makes them worth being sticky? Seems like it would be reserved. Info for beginners and rules all make sense to me. Even a single sticky thread for each of the products Dave markets makes some sense to me, just for the advertisement.
Not a big deal to leave it. Dave's site anyway and I enjoy the free use of it. So, good job Dave!

Well that just lit up an idea. What if there was a Specific Instruments test equipment section where each instrument of note (say several pages is the trigger) got it's own thread and they are all stickied.
It could be an easy go-to section for specific much talked about instruments?
If an ok idea I could make this a specific poll test to see what the general response is?
