[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

The only real problem which I found with that multimeter, is that it
doesn't go very high as far as amperage is concerned.

You couldn't use it for work on most kitchen appliances, or heavy duty
devices like 10, 20, or 30 amp devices.  It wouldn't even be adiquate
for an electrition.  It was really designed for radio, and at that, I
still have doubts.

I guess that what I am saying, is there any way one could use an amprobe
with the system, to atenuate the current, and get the correct readings.

It wouldn't even be safe to use that meter on a something like, a
starter in a car.

Next time, they might come out with something which is able to do more
in the way of current.
