What's the cheapest 0.02% accuracy handheld meter
miegapele:
For the last five years I was using RM303 (basically smaller AN870) as my primary multimeter. It's specified as 0.05% DC accuracy and is very nice multimeter. Now I wanted more accuracy and started looking for 0.02%/0.03% accuracy multimeter.
However, it seems there is not much cheap Chinese stuff available. I found HP-770D, (40000 count, but spec only 0.1%), there is also UT71C, but it's very old and around 200 EUR. The cheapest I found seems to be BM785/BM786 for around 150EUR.
What's the cheapest handheld DMM with 0.02% DC accuracy currently on the market?
ArdWar:
This just occurred to me, for handheld DMM we often just take manufacturer's spec at face value don't we? Save for select few high end with known and well characterized reference and ADC.
miegapele:
You don't need super high end reference to get 0.02% accuracy. Flukes are known for being accurate to the last count even if decades old, I expect the same to be true for other reputable brands. Dave did a review of that Chinese special years ago, and it was in spec. Given how much he hates Chinese wonder multimeters, lack of any follow up showing that Chinese DMM drifted 0.000000001% out of spec, can be taken as confirmation that would be in spec too ;D

APPA 506
SANWA PC7000
Both around 225 euro, both more modern than BM859S.
BM785 is surprisingly cheap indeed. Wonder why.
