content: http://www.sanwa-meter.co.jp/I would love to see some of these JapaneseSanwamultimeters reviewed, to see how they compare with similarly-priced Fluke models along with others.Both budget and mid-range and perhaps even higher-end.I think it would be very interesting to compare them to Fluke and Agilent and others.

content: There have been some reports on this forum about Sanwa DMMs. The main complaint was lousy LCD, if I recall correctly.

One is analog YX360TRF and the other is digital CD800a. I shot images of them with my old cell E61i by Nokia and those are just for the idea before a serious test and review.Please Dave and others you are more than welcome to instruct me about things you want to know about these two.Before the photos let’s start with some specs from the official site.http://overseas.sanwa-meter.co.jp/index.php?cd800aCD800a3-3 / 4 digits 4000 count0.7% best accuracyCapacitance measurementNot suitable for measuring condensers with large leak currentFrequency measurement (AC sine wave only)Data hold / Range holdRelative valueAuto power off (30min.)

You can download manuals from their website.More photos and hopefully better ones are coming.CheersHave a great weekend

content: I'll be getting SANWA PC5000a (datasheet says 0.03% base DCV accuracy) in a few days, so I think I can make a small review and maybe a comparison to a Fluke meter if I get my hands on one at work (got to ask my boss, can't guarantee it). Unfortunately I don't have any decent camera, but I'll try to do something about it.
