Fluke 287 vs 189-II

[Helix70]

Does anyone know the difference between the Fluke 287 and the Fluke 189-II (can't find it on Fluke's website, here is an Ebay listing: http://r.ebay.com/tqApiP)?

I have seen a couple of these now, but know nothing about them.

search "Fluke 189ii vs 289" on google and you'll get bits and pieces buddy.

Hope you get the info your looking for.

If I'm not mistaken, the Fluke 189 II is the predecessor to the 287/289 models.  Dave did a review of the 189 II way back in #15.

AFAIK a 287 is a 187-11

and a 289 is a 189-11

187 and 189 models without the '-11' are the previous style and look different in style and function

All these 6 meters are awesome btw    and a definite but pricey upgrade from  the Fluke 87 series, or any series!

For 575 675 dollar I would buy a new Keysight instead of an antique Fluke,

$675 would get you two good used   -antique-   Fluke 287s

and two strong lattes to enjoy, whilst waiting for them to be packed at the vintage auction room

For bench meters, Keysight. For hand held, you would need to pry my Fluke 287 from my cold dead hand. Or my Fluke 87-V for that matter.
Thanks for the info, confirms my thoughts.
