the one on the voltage position has a very limited frequency range 40Hz-1KHz - probably intended for testing power sources,
the dedicated range is only supposed to work upto about 35v if i remember right.

First, I'm reading both power company mains at 120 volts AC at 60 cycles, and a generator that delivers the same. Secondly, I don't believe the link for the manual you posted is for the Ragu meter. In that PDF, it's mentioned it uses AA batteries, the Ragu uses a 9volt battery, and it does not come with a temp probe. The manual I found was very skimpy and very few specs!

This is the link for the Ragu 17B manual I copied from the Amazon page:

You use this meter on mains?

Yes, both 120 and 240 volts, I have a clamp meter for amps.

And on a 1800 amp diesel generator, apparently.

Is there any reason that you didn't buy something like a Fluke 101 for $42 delivered? It has a genuine CAT III 600V rating and is perfect for this sort of work, especially in combination with your clamp.

My best trusted meter is the BM235. I bought this Ragu at $10, to simply keep plugged in to monitor the voltage and frequency of the generator all day, I plan on making a battery eliminator. I have access to co-workers Flukes as well, but in 36 years of basic electric work, and reading voltage up to 240 AC with Radio Shack meters if that's what I had at hand. I've never had an issue in the specific applications I'm using them for.
