Looking for a decent sub $1500 bench multimeter
skander36:
On DMM6500 the hum exist but can be heard only if no fan cooled device is running in that room. Any fan running will cover that hum. Certainly is not a reason to not buy.
Mine show about 4W in standby.
It is the only that can run locally scripts for extended functions (probe hold, channel grid, etc.), and it has a very flexible way to configure triggers.
Comparable, but not as good, with 6500 is KS 34465A at a higher price. I'd recomend it only if you are tied to KS in a professional way (contracts, calibrations).
In terms of price/performance DMM6500 it is unbeatable on the market. I would not ignore SDM3065X, it do a similar job as KS & KT, but if you have budget for DMM6500 go for it.

I've concluded that the Keithly DMM6500 or the Keysight 34460A/34461A would suit my needs.
The main issue is availability. I need the meter by the end of this year, and I haven't been able to find any of the meters in stock for a reasonable price.
Does anyone know where either of these instruments is in stock?

Since the new : Keysight - "You have to be a company" to get support.
I'd never consider them for a "Private/Hobby" usage.
I like them, but will not buy a new KS Instrument, due to their policys.
/Bingo
Who have : 3456 + 3457 + 34401 + 3458
My next DMM will not be Keysight

Welectron? 6500 is marked as "soon on stock" but they have KS34461A although on short supply.
Eleshop expect 6500 on 25 nov.
Farnell - 34460A in stock on 17 Nov.

Ummm… what? Ok, maybe once you’re at 7.5 or 8.5 digit metrology meters.
But others are extremely fast. Μy Keithley 2015 is spectacularly fast to autorange, which is precisely one of the joys of using it. It’s continuity meter is also very responsive, sufficient that I don’t bother to pull out the Fluke 87V that’s on a shelf just 1 foot away!
I haven’t tested the continuity on it (if it even has it) on the Keithley 2001 at work, but I do know its autoranging speed is fantastic.
