? I switch to ohms and it was the only resistance mode that came up.  Do I have to change something else?  That doesn't seem very intuitive.  What tells you it's in continuity mode?

Press the Mode button until is says AUTO in the top left and the Ohms symbol appears on the right.

Does it remember it next time?

dcac:
Yes last mode selected with red button is remembered - even after power of I think.

Continuity mode is shown by symbol in red circle.

Hi everyone,

I got a 121GW last month from the EEVblog website, and I have one question:
What is the difference between the currently-sold 121GW "pre-Kickstarter" model sold by EEVblog's website and the "normal" production one?
My PCB looks like it's 2019-09 dated...


--- Quote ---NOTE: The current stock meter from this website is the latest pre-Kickstarter build that has the new PCB (doesn’t require the shim) and larger protection transistors fitted. It also comes with the UEi test leads instead of the Brymen test leads. These leads do not have banana tip adapters like the Brymen leads

I'm OK with the different leads or cosmetics. I'm really wondering about performance/quality differences.

Hi Dave,
Thanks everyone!

Oops, that should read "post-Kickstarter"!
My store has had the latest hardware build for many months now.
