Hi thereIs this the same MICSIG DP10013 model ? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Micsig-Oscilloscope-1300V100MHz-High-Voltage-Differential-Probe-Kit-High-Quality-/123239228604?roken=cUgayN&soutkn=EvpMYCBut off course you get the risk of getting stuck..
For me it said shipping was free.. (a tempting way to toss $50 but I still smell )
Joe, how did that hot date go? (with the meter..) Is she smoking yet?
If I understood his last comment, he has a store and plans to sell the meter. Similar to the other review where the retired guy gets his free bling for giving thumbs up. In my case, I could care less. I'm getting nothing out of it.
Hi there.Does this device is prone to RF interference ? Can you pass the RF antenna to check that its readings are changed ?
Speaking of RF, putting it on the input jacks would be good too. The U127xA had an issue with that.
Nicely done as usual Joe! We can forget this one as a newbie best buy.. I'll post a link to his channel and see what he says.*edit - He may not want to promote it in his "store" anymore. I was thinking about 3 of these as disposables but shipping to Canada doubles the cost, so yeah - I think not. Thanks for a really big sheww..!

Here is a partial list if what I see as the MK01A's shortcomings:Battery can be installed incorrectly. Even the UT61E has different dimensions in the battery holder for the pos/neg. If the user is not paying attention, he doesn't deserve a METERK! There are no captive tabs on the large fuse holder to keep it in place if the meter is dropped. The case also has nothing in the molding to secure it. Again, if you can't take care of your things, you don't deserve a METERK!When ramping the 10A current input, the supplied leads failed before the 10A fuse blew. Ultimate input protection against arc flash!I'm not even sure what to say about the glowing small fuse. Well, it was a cheap unfilled ceramic body. The type Fungus does not believe exist. You are never satisfied, are you? Hey, at least is ceramic and not glass cheapies.Capacitance will not zero out without adding an external capacitor. Well, in order to use the capacitance meter you would need one capacitor anyways... What is the problem in adding one more?Very slow auto ranging for a moderate sized capacitor. The same for lower value resistors. Youngsters are so impatient these days... When in AC mode, selecting frequency will require a zero cross for the meter to read it. A METERK! is designed for the audiophile crowd that tolerates only absolute purity on their sinewaves.When in AC mode, cases like a a full wave rectified signal that is unfiltered can not be read. Exactly. How dare you submit a METERK! to such impure waveform?!? Blasphemy!When in AC mode, is the input is and AC waveform with a DC bias, the meter may not display the correct value. In my setup I show the meter reading between 4 volts and 42 volts. Read the two above.When in DC mode, if the the input is an AC waveform with a DC bias, the meter will not display the correct value. I don't know why you insist in feed the METERK! with such impurities... I think you are trying to corrupt its soul.In frequency mode, the meter appears to be susceptible to 3KHz and will display low battery. This is to inform the user he is finally crossing the upper bandwidth of that impure audio system called POTS and entering a new dimension in audiophile domain.With a 180MHz 20dBm signal (roughly 3V), the meter will display more than 50 volts. That frequency is too much even for the purest audiophile domain.Why do they put the vias in the rotary switch pads? You are not as famous as Dave yet. The mA lead was not soldered. There were no signs that the solder had wicked to the terminal. That shouldn't block the user from moving forward. Basic soldering skills for the hobbyist are critical for a solid career.The stupid little piezo grill starter killed it. The only meters that are damaged by that are UNI-Ts and the lowest of the low. If the gun had killed it, I may have been alright with it but no, its the test that hardly does anything. Shame on you for subjecting a METERK! to these abominations!Also, I have updated the spreadsheet to include this meter.
Since a "real review" now exists, maybe I should remove those comments? As y'all know, I preview a lot of channels for sharing and I've seen of lot of "staged pro's" (in Spanish and English) and this guy's OK. Any care to opine with a yea or nay?
