Another vote for fluke mine must be 20 years old but at same time my 30 dollar klien , reads the exact same I.e. , o love my fluke but if it ever died I wouldn't pay 400 for another .
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I don't have a 77,I ran the calibration lab on 2 seperate aircraft carriers, and I can promise you that if you know how to use it, the simpson 260 is more accurate than the Fluke 77 every day of the week.
That being said 99% of the time the fluke gets used due to simplicity and ruggedness. Unless you are needing to read and see a wave form or a change in current, the fluke is the way to go.
If you have your hands on a meter, you'd better know what that is. Otherwise, you're Homer Simpson just looking at the pretty numbers.How many guys even know what Ohms per Volt is?![]()
Yup. My stuff was every piece of man packed or vehicle borne comm gear the Marines had. Generator stuff too. For me, working on stuff built in the Korean and Vietnam War eras will keep you on your toes. Nonetheless, electronics is all the same once you get past the outside frame. It's just a matter of size and purpose after that.Fluke 77 and Simpson 260 keep the F-18, EA6B, E2C and all other navy aircraft flying, bombing, and jamming!
