Its intermittent and inconsistent.. 5 seconds to 30 seconds. Diode test mode intermittently flashes low Forward Voltage values, indicating like a shorted diode, even with no leads attached.

I listen to a lot of BBC Radio 4 and it's quite common to hear much stronger language than that in the 6:30 pm comedy slot.
I guess MK14 hasn't heard Dave telling the camera to focus yet, that one always makes me chuckle... and he should definitely avoid AvE's channel. He's Canadian btw...

I suppose audiences sensitivity to 'bad' words, varies.

I agree, and thought a similar thing. Many/some 10 Amp multimeter ranges, say something like, 10 Amps continuous, Max 20 Amps for up to 25 seconds, not repeating again for at least 5 minutes.
So, presumably, a similar or vaguely similar specification, such as 450ma continuous, Max 600ma for up to 5 minutes or something. Would make more sense. N.B. I don't know how long or short the times would have to be.

I was able to replicate it on all the 78x meters I have. It's not a small effect. You can make the audio very faint with it. Really odd. I have written Brymen about it.
I don't use these magnetic hangers often and wonder if there are other meters with a similar problem.

Ups... It means I should avoid laying my new BM789 on linear motor or any other magnetic field source :o. I didn't buy magnetic strip only because it was not available yet so my beeper still works. Thanks for the warning.

One tends to adjust one's vocabulary to the nature of one's company.
At work, in the company of people many of whom use the "F word" more or less every other word in a, well, let's call it a "sentence" for the sake of argument, I find myself following suit, and have to consciously moderate myself sometimes.
When speaking with my grandchildren, or my mother for example, I have no difficulty avoiding swear words.

It would certainly remove any confusion surrounding the fuse value.
