Will it have a dBm mode? That's something I use all the time - I do a lot of audio work.

In the case of Fluke, you need to stretch to a 187/9 or 287/9 to get that (and you know how these eat batteries!). The classic 8050A and 8060 models have it, of course, along with the 45. I use them all, along with an 8920A for wide BW stuff.

As it's only a bit of code, it's a shame that it isn't more widespread at the saner end of the market. I suppose a lack of a "dB" annunciator on the chosen LCD might rule it out?

For me, it'll turn a "maybe" into a "definitely"  :-+

Hope I'm right here -- pretty sure it does have dBm mode  ;D

Thanks for that - where did you pick up that information from?

I'm not in the know or anything, but there's nothing I can see on the range switch labels indicating that capability:

I think the "REL" key is THE key here (see what I did here?)

Hmm - plenty of meters have have Relative mode without dBm.

Looks interesting. I suppose all the guys on the "Test Equipment Anonymous (TEA) group therapy thread" have submitted their pre-orders   ;D

Wow, didn't know that! Pity it is obsolete... Now we'll just have to wait on Dave's meter. Bugger! ;)

It was also sold in Europe as the Voltcraft 608, in case someone is looking for a second-hand unit.

Drop test?
IP test?

Pity you did not borrow a screwdriver form someone.  A photo of Dave's face seeing it taken to appart and and all the bits spread over a dirty bar top would have been priceless.  We need a test of it's 'put back together' and still work properly properties.
