Just was looking for any reviews on this meter ? I see it doesn't look like the newer models with the same model number ? This one has a knob and looks like a jack of some kind on the bottom of that, unlike the newer ones I see. Thanks

It's been modified. I have two of 'em, sold another, and none of the three had that stuff.

As far as being good meters, I like mine alot. Peak and average, and reads reflect.

I hear you on that you like yours (-: .....modified huh ? I was thinking that myself until I looked at the newer models ....IM guessing this must be an older model and not modified ? I could be wrong ? but what I was really looking for was how good and accurate of a meter they might me ? Thanks 2M G .This is a new model.

I did some further investagating on this meter , even though they are slightly different , IM not seeing no knobs or jacks on the front of what looks to be older models of this unit. Still haven't found much on how good they are ? Now IM wondering what the modifaction might be on this one ? If the jack in the back of these meters is for a transformer/power supply to the the meters lights ,can't see why anyone would go through the trouble to put it in the front ? from what IM reading on this meter ,everything is automatic with them , so IM kind of wondering what in the heck that mod might be ? and if the meters are worth there price in performance ?

Mine seem to be the older version, they have an 1/8" input for the light. Newer ones have a different type.

As far as accuracy goes, mine seem to be pretty good. They can also be calibrated with a Bird( the illustration in the manual shows that).

 

[2M Guy]

Only thing I can think of on the mod is, the knob could be a dimmer for the light.

First guess is a talkback circuit with adjustable volume.

Yes No Maybe?

We had those on the PDC 6000/7000 meters... Easy way to tell is to take off the top cover and post the pic.

that's what it was ,talkback with volume control ........the meter itself seems to be up to par compared to my others.
