DMM other than Flukes that chirp on diode/transistor test?

I ended up grabbing a Uni-T UT161B on Amazon on sale for $60 shipped.   It does in fact have a diode chirp when testing a good junction, and also has a continuous beep for shorted.  Continuity is fast but as @eevblog reported in his video of the UT161E+ the stupid visual LED for continuity is not tied to the buzzer but to the display.  (I agree Dave, big fail).   

Wytnucls:
The old UT71A can also beep repetitively for a voltage, which falls below a threshold set by the user, in diode mode.
It still sells today for about 120 USD.

This UT161B is rather unimpressive in a lot of other aspects.  The diode chirp is exactly what I wanted but man the autoranging is so slow and the release lag of the continuity is so annoying.  Maybe I'm being too picky.  Otherwise on paper is such a good meter.  They even have a real beefy HRC fuse and much better input protection now.  I wonder with bi-directional communication built in now if it will be "hackable" or firmware upgrade-able.

netsecrets00:
Do we have list for DMM which beeps on diode mode ?

BeBuLamar:
And I thought all of them do!
