content: I should get one(MTX3293) next week so i can tel than.But due to specification and MJLorton YouTube review of an MTX3282i expect a superb performance - this series of Metrix DMM-s is a pretty uniquewith some rare and nice functions (simultaneously V and A measurement,graph plots,...)Regards

content: Quote from: bozidarms on January 04, 2017, 09:52:09 amHello.Next week came, what happened?Waiting to see it work. Because I’m thinking to buy one, but also afraid. The specifications are super, but we need to see it in real life. It says in the manual (operation 100 hours) with batteries but with what on the LCD. How does it work in bright sun, if I have it in ohms and plug it in a 230v socket, will it survive? And more, it’s not a cheap multimeter, you expect the best from it.

content: Yes, DMM has arrived,and have all this nasty test's passed with easy.Manual tells actually 80 hours - i have no problem with that, it is more than enough.Mine came with 4x Ansmann NiMH 2400mAh rechargeable battery's -that was surprise to me because this kind of battery's are the only one that i use in my Canon Speedlite600 - all others (Eneloop's, Duracells'...) give only 5-6-flashes and than are dead.That kind of decision tells that Metrix engineers know exactly what are they doing, and that the DMM are well thought through!Display is crystal clear, have 3 mods of intensity end is real joy, easy to mix up with oled.Need i say more - almost everything on this DMM is different from mainstream, build quality - simply superb.But the most important for me - this one have infinite appeal.Regards
