Post by: 001 on September 06, 2018, 08:12:47 am

Why so expensive for 30 years old design?
Any benefits?

Maybe it is a rebadged APPA from early 1990s.

It's only 121 Euros on their web site:

It has "automatic and/or manual measuring range selection".  :popcorn:

I read the manual. The grooves at top/bottom are for winding the probes around the meter.  :-+
