If you don't mind purchasing used equipment, pretty much any of the Fluke 80xx family would suit your needs well. They stack nicely on the bench. I'm particularly fond of the Fluke 8050A - 4.5 digit, 0.3% accurate on DC Volts, true-RMS AC responding, direct reading in dB if you are doing audio stuff. I remember paying more than a month's salary when I purchased my first one but most of the others cost much less because I bought them surplus many years later. I have 4 of them and rely upon them daily. I check the calibration every couple of years or so against my HP 3455 bench meter - they age gracefully. I haven't had to adjust any of them. I have other Fluke instruments in the same form factor - they all stack nicely. dwayne -- Dwayne Reid Trinity Electronics Systems Ltd Edmonton, AB, CANADA (780) 489-3199 voice (780) 487-6397 fax www.trinity-electronics.com Custom Electronics Design and Manufacturing -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
