IIRC the CAL switch was in the enable position and I think I pressed the SRQ button on one of the ranges by accident and wiped out the settings on that particular range and hence why the display was saying "Uncalibrated" because if a single range is not calibrated it won't pass the self test and that message is what it displays by default. I have since calibrated all ranges and it passes the self test and also agrees with my other meters give or take 1 or 2 mV.
EDIT. I have not calibrated the many Flukes meters I have nor the recent HP3466A and seriously doubt that they would agree with so little difference between them if the calibration was not good enough at the mV level. I don't need micro volt measurements and if I did I would get a meter designed for that level of measurement.

Gotcha. That makes sense now.
I would like to apologise for the toast incident. I have punished myself by eating toast last night and this morning :-DD

Nah this is Telonic. They're pretty good. Next working day delivery with one hour delivery slot for free. The free meter is a "how can we screw someone for another 8 quid and use the word free at the same time" pitch.
Talking of which my new scope is due to arrive in the next hour :-+

Arrived, unpacked, plugged in, riglol'ed up to 100MHz. Bob = uncle:
Specmaster:
They do look nice especially with the large screen (8 x 12) and 4 channels but the bugs??
Does the 100MHz means that it came with extra bandwidth activated, or did you pay for the key / hacked it?
ElektroQuark:
Hacked, I bet.
