@aldo22: I will have a look at that ZT-225 and it's specs.
@Fungus: Oke, good to hear that about the 870, that has my preference untill now. but i will have a look at the ZT-225 also.
I will be using it for, well, I am just a hobbyist, but I have used my UT71c as my main MM for years for work, such as some domestic repairs and work with Arduino/Wemos-like boards to AC and higher Voltage DC (solar panels) I use it quite often, but honestly I feel like I do not use it to it's fullest potention.
The last thing I did with it was measuring the Voltage over 3 serial connected solar panels each 40V) so that should be way in specs for te UT71C, also I did not notice any issues at that point. only afterwards when I turned on a couple of weeks later the problem showed itself.
Maybe in time I will try to get it fixed locally.
I do have a UT210E as back-up that does the work for now.
Kind greats
