New Uni-T UT61 series (UT61e+)
rsjsouza:
Despite knowing how 9V batteries can be expensive in some places, due to the leakage problems I don't see it having AA/AAA batteries as an advantage. The 9V on the original UT61E has great endurance already.

Just discovered that Eneloop AAA cells do exist, https://www.amazon.com.au/Panasonic-BK-4MCCE-4BA-Ni-MH-Battery/dp/B01NA8IFFE/ref=asc_df_B01NA8IFFE/?tag=googleshopdsk-22&linkCode=df0&hvadid=341793314840&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8833507744174598613&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9068976&hvtargid=pla-703359270644&psc=1

I need to know if it beeps in a useful way on Diode test range.

They do! I've got a bunch. They rock.

Instead of gain position they could have easily moved capacitance there.

Agreed, But IMHO it is OK at this price point. It won't deter me from buying it. No, I bet it doesn't remember your last setting. It should default to the resistance scale. I'm waiting for the 11.11 to see if there will be additional discounts.

Do they sell a Bluetooth module for this?

I remember someone saying that the transmission protocol is very crude and because of that it is very hackable. When UNI-T updates their download section on the UT61E+ / UT161E if it is the same software it is possible that it is compatible with the current bluetooth adapter.

The 860/870 are a huge step up from the 8009 in terms of solidity/reliability/confidence.

Maybe I'll get one later as a carry everywhere meter. It's only a little more expensive and it really seems good. I think I've been infected by the MAS-19 desease (Meter acquisition syndrome-19). No vaccines for me please ;D

I missed this video but it is very revealing. Can you spot the slow bargraph update on the UT161D (1:50)? The E model is shown afterwards testing a 9v battery. The bargraph lags changing the scale. Doesn't happen on the original, I've just tested it. Damn... :--
Guess I'll wait someone to review it before I buy. Uni-T IS skimping on the bargraph function, or it is the video's bad editing.
