Weird new ANENG multimeters - "hybrid" design

[stj]

nice, for the northern hemisphere.
i dont know about leaving it in the sun in a hot country though - not with lithiums in it!!

well, the display and refresh rate is not bad

But what's the obsession with pretending it's a 'phone?  Am I too old to get the joke?

EDIT: About the flat BSIDE meter well almost if it was some kind of surprise , like " it is a phone??? No it's a meter "

She was obviously getting instructions on how to operate the meter over the metered phone.

At least one advantage of having this "auto-everything" meter is that it does not beep at every selection of the rotary dial!

Are all of them  dtm0660 clones?

Yeah lots sold I see at that price... can scammers really make money through Paypal this way? 
If so, EBay's going to be taking a big hit with all these scams so evident now... 

[rsjsouza]

If the price didn't reek of a scam, I would consider buying it. At the regular price of $30, I would never consider it seriously due to its less than stellar design choices.

Sorry if i repeared this but check this uni-t with 2 input jack, low functions and inverted display


UNI-T UT123 Digital Color Screen High Accuracy Multimeter for Home Industry P2C9 

https://ebay.us/j1xLER

Not much functions and the ut 136b might be better value for the money , unless you want to offer for a beginner

[rsjsouza]

This meter looks quite interesting. Uni-T advertises it for home use - hopefully they have a decent input protection.

The fact it does not have current is a massive help to avoid accidents.

The UT136 (non-plus) series is quite good and compact for electronics use. I have a UT136C. Their "plus" variants are radically different and, in my opinion, lose a lot of the high points of the older generation.

[malagas_on_fire]

The model is so new that gives me forbiden error on the website

So really fresh new meter from uni-t
