IMHO tech specs aside, auto hold and auto min-max-avg are the features sorely missing on otherwise good sub-$150 meters.

This new one will have AutoHold
And the usual auto min,max,avg
Not being rude : i think this thread kinda died ??
Lack of interest of Dave leazy mode loll
Is it an already built up meter or a new design ?? it's kinda confusing for me ?

I have nothing to share, I don't have the meter yet, they delayed it a bit.
It is a new design that has not been released or announced yet, last I heard it was going through UL testing.
I'll be getting a sample shipped end of next week
Would be nice to have a 60k count dmm, with bluetooth or wireless as an module option, to reduce selling cost / price, i need more digits but "no needs for external communication(s)"
And mostly a fast autoranging ....
Q: is this dmm a 121gw succesor ??
thks

Nope. As I said, it's an "in-between" model.
Hello , any news ?
I think that DMM show by Joe at post 26 is the same with Mastech 8218
Delayed due to the virus of course, but they have the sample and are going to send to me on the 27th April.
No it's not a Mastech.

Will there be a discussion about this new meter in the Supporters Lounge prior to a formal public announcement ?.

Maybe when I get the thing.
Got the final user manual, specs have changed a little bit on various things. It's interesting how you might initially target a particular spec, but after extensive testing determine what the real spec is finally going to be.
0.03%+2 DCV
0.075%+20 DCA
0.08%+4 Ohms
Unit is on the plane.
No it's not a Mastech.
I bet Dave had a change of heart and it’s a Uni-T
hurryyyy loll
Even DHL are very slow these days, it hasn't left the country yet. So much for "Express".
Same here in Canada it's a mess, lots of delays for many carriers, a one day express post took 1 week to arrive at destination loll
They send me Email delivery notices, but its never right loll
Got it!
First thing I noticed was how thin it was. I was expecting much thicker. They have done a novel convex arrangement on the case, I really like it!
Also an interesting new design battery compartment (3xAAA's)
Probably less than 1.5sec ohms ranging, quite fast.
Autohold works great, but has thei feature of flashing the digits. Not a bad idea I guess.
Great and fast continuity test and flashes the backlight.
Downsides:
- The fuses are inside the case (6 self tappers), no external access. Probably has to do with making the case thin. Kinda has an old Fluke 70's series vibe when you open it to replace the fuses.
- Jack alert doesn't work, but it's supposed to have it.
Has what looks like a firmware programming port inside the battery compartment.
I found a 6 pin SIP header footprint inside, maybe that's for the optional Bluetooth module, not sure.
Send it on to Joe, he'll soon tell you if it's any good.
Still no photo or even a mention of the brand. It's sounding more and more like the 121GW deal. Fool me once....
