It's time to re-evaluate 121GW .
That box sure seems big for just two meters. Perhaps there was something else inside....

Ooh, more goodies!
The anticipation is killing me. Hope this isn't a vicious tease
Another item to administer stress to the victims?

I'm not well known for not following through. So hang in there for a few weeks or so and you may just see another Brymen on the chopping blocks..
Yes, Joe, all ahead FULL.
So much to do with this meter. Brymen did not send them because they knew I would treat them with kid gloves. I think it needs the FULL treatment!

I think it needs the FULL treatment!Joe correct me if I'm wrong, but something says Bryman's motive is from concern that UEI is soon likely to take a bite out of their sales. I mean what are the odds that UEI may be gearing up to push a lot of 121GW or similar types into the market place this year? And China never sleeps either, so Bryman may be using you (it's fair) to bolster sales on existing stock, while doing R&D on something fresh.
I checked out the meters they offer. The ADM5201 would have been a good one to try. Both it and the ADM4201 are listed as discontinued at TE. Their ADM3201 is getting a bit too much like that ESUN meter I looked at.
The ADL7103 is also listed as discontinued at TE. Starting to wonder if they make anything. Maybe the hope is the EEVBLOG branding will save them? They may just not be popular in the USA, like Brymen.
Just be warned about the "discontinued" status at TEquipment: not long ago I saw one product still in production that was marked as "discontinued" on their website. I would always check with the manufacturer first.
Regarding the Brymen/UEI conspiracy theory, let me throw another one: perhaps they are "using you" to increase their perceived value and be bought by a larger TE brand?

If I can't find a distributor, as far as I am concerned they may as well be discontinued. If TE dropped them, I would have to ask myself why. It could have been anything from lack of sales to poor quality or maybe it really is discontinued.

It could have been anything from lack of sales to poor quality or maybe it really is discontinued.That is the thing; at the time the product was being sold by other official distributors and TE decided to drop that particular product line or brand. I can't recall if it was the former or the latter, but I kinda recall something about Siglent. Sorry, I don't recall anything further than that.
I doubt the 121GW will be UEI's choice for an automotive meter. UEI already makes an automotive meter that has better features for the Automotive job. They have a whole line of meter just for automotive. UEI already beats Brymen hands down in specific automotive testing and diagnostics tools and lab scopes.
I recall Dave even mentioning that UEI already had a Bluetooth stack and protocol designed that they offered to use with the 121GW, so this tells me they already had a Bluetooth meter.
I don’t know why Dave decided to make his own apps when UEI already had all this to start with? UEI already has an andriod and applemios app. The app looks basic but can do a 100ms refresh rate, record, graph, export to CSV, PNG, or JPG, continuous readings.

Maybe this is why Dave went with UEI this time because he wanted Bluetooth as a feature?

Who knows under which name they're sold under ... Fine/Finest? Klein?
What about the feature set? Will they be able to incorporate these same functions in another meter lacking the EEVBlog name?
