Default Re: Meter Suggestions for Basic Alignment/Calibration

For a tenner you can get a quite-decent digital meter from Screwfix/B&Q.

To be brutally honest, it'll probably be more accurate than you can repeatably read a typical analog meter to.

Fed up with carting big bulky AVOs around with me, these days I use my cheapie orange-cased Screwfix meter - at least if I blow it up or lose it I've only lost a tenner, and can get a replacement next-day.

Only time I use an analog meter is when I'm 'peaking' RF circuits, because for that it's a lot easier/quicker to watch a pointer move than it is to count digits.
