Yeah I know it's a Radio Shack, but it's really good. Measures frequency up to 4MHz, has built in EMF detection, capacitance measurement and more and best of all at our towns ratshack it was on special for 35$.
Talk about a huge upgrade from my old junky walmart 20$ meter which died a short time back. Hard lesson learned, don't buy a 20$ meter and expect it to handle the ratings it says it can in the manual lol. That sucker arched over inside when measuring high voltage AC and I was well within limits.
Anyways, what meters do you guys use around here. I know fluke is pretty much the standard, but sometimes radioshack does come out with good products, and this is one of them. Best of all I can place one of the leads near my coax cable and calibrate my AM transmitters frequency w/o the need of a radio

I am still using my Fluke 88 I bought nearly 15 years ago. I love it and its completely serviceable too. I've only ever had to replace the LCD contacts once because the display started to fade.
It has a pressure transducer, infrared temp sensor, inductive tachometer, inductive amp probe and a ton of leads, so it pretty much covers anything I ask of it. I've toasted a couple of the cheapies that I leave in the van for road service. Seems they don't understand fuse protection and the like.
