--- Quote from: Jiri Bekr on December 03, 2022, 03:12:28 pm ---Well, the product page didn't mention anything about the non-functional PWM duty measurement, and there was not even a single word about the fact that this multimeter is so silent, that it has a hard time to overbeep typical background noise. You also can't find anything on the exceptionally hard leads insulation, or any other fails like that the multimeter swings on the table like an egg. Also the problem with faulty HV indication was only mentioned in one document one has to search on official page. That's why we need honest reviews, not these "it's a Fluke, must be great then" - almost like it was a religion... --- End quote --- Amazing, you are blaming Fluke that errata published in February 2014 is published just on the same page, one line down to manual, and that is really hard to find for you? Blaming Fluke that you did no check files? Swings like the egg? :palm: |

These always remind me of the Surpeer AV4. They are outwardly identical except for the color. Same shape, same size, same control and probe socket positioning. Probably made in the same factory. Makes me shudder. The Surpeer was like $30 and did have true RMS though. |

You didn't like the 113 and 116 which I have used both and like them. I chose the 113 because it has only a few functions and the 116 because it doesn't measure current. |

Around the time this Surpeer was released, there was a series of meters that had the same resemblance to these Flukes - I think they are mostly concentrated in the shape of the numbers and graphics of the LCD and the moulding of the rotary switch. One of the large OEMs lists at least three, which were replicated by others of the likes of Bside, Aneng, Richmeters, etc. |

And in China there is also replacement PCBs and MCUs for those equipments, non official. The Fluke 15B+/17B+/18B+ have a blob in the MCU space: Someone made a replacement PCB for both the 15B+ and the 17B+ and got hold of the MCUs for it: |
