There are a lot of electronics products and subjects that haven't had videos done on them here.  This is just one of them.

Will Dave do a video on what's available for this type of product?  Who knows.  Maybe if people send him different ones via mailbag, he might take it up.  No guarantees, though.


I do like the App and PC support :D

Sideloading an app that's downloaded from Mediafire and is made by an already sketchy looking supplier. What could possibly go wrong?

There was a member of the forum whom I believe was somehow involved with this and similar products but they were recently banned for basically spamming the forum with promotional material and possibly running a shill account or two as well.

This was a bit silly and unnecessary on their part really as good products such as these need little if any promotion, I still don't understand why they would cut their own throat in this manner as they were an established member here, a forum search for RD Tech tells the story for those interested.

I have this meter. It's a handy wee gadget. Like someone else posted though there are quite a few of them on the market now. This one doesn't have the iPhone App which I didn't know when I bought it, only android. I should have read the advert properly! It's handy for anyone who uses USB stuff. There are a few YouTube videos on this particular one that are worth a look before you buy one.
