I am a bit concert about 87-V being susceptible to gsm signals and god know what. Does high voltage em waves affect it too? I am look for an accurate meter as a benchmark so if it is prone to interference it can be an huge minus.
Perhaps it is a hard question to ask since each has their own weakens and strength that makes comparison difficult.
Well I do not know how well did you read the thread ( or not at all ) about the "87-V being susceptible to gsm",
in the forum ..
The major point is not if it is susceptible to gsm or not ,
the true problem are that you can not use it by holding at the same hand the DMM and the mobile phone in call mode.
Mostly electricians gets effected by this issue, who work in teams, and they have to be in touch by using mobile phones.
And so, no one who does
just bench work , gets actually effected by this susceptibility to GSM.
Some young ones took advantage of this discovery ( 87V susceptibility - first shown in the EEV-forum ),
and use it as excuse , for blasting the product as an problematic one.
Well it is not a problematic one , that's my view about it.
( And I do laugh with all those videos in youtube , that they replicate the 87V susceptibility,
like to was an Circus stage , that Lions and bears run in a cycle so to collect the applause of the visitors) .
Truly, I was hopping that true professionals, they would had the ability to see the true inconvenience that this susceptibility causes,
than staying just in the surface of it .
My computer speakers are also susceptible to GSM , every time that a mobile phone goes close to them,
they make the known noises (digital interference tones),
and they distort the music that comes from my computer .
And so what ?
Its an temporarily effect , it does not effect my work .
About capacitors , if you work with them that frequently ,
start thinking about getting an single tester just for that.
My opinion is that we have to always look the capacitor tester on the DMM, as auxiliary tool , and not as primary.
