<Beckman and Metex brands are deluxe low-priced models... Jameco (415) 592-8097 
has Metex M3650 multimeter with frequency and capacitance measurement, 
transistor Hfe, audible $59.95>

I purchased a Metex from Jameco, but not that model.   Mine has all the stuff 
above, plus 4 1/2 digits.  I think it was $89.95.  No problems or gripes so 
far.  In fact, I prefer it to my old Fluke simply because the extra digit 
allows me to just leave it on the 20V range, and still get a good look at 
junction voltages.
