No clicks or pops at turn-on....?

The dumbest design flaw I've seen in a while.

I have about 8 of them, and none do that. You just turn the range switch.

Nah, didn't bother. Electricity is cheap, and time is not.
I have a lot of them that don't do it either, but at least one 4.5 digit hand-held and another multifuction 'tweezer' measurement unit do-do it. Ain't nuthin' you can do abahd 't.

That's no less annoying.
Every one I've had does it. The range switch thing works, for small values of "works". 'cept as you hint at, those that have no range switch.
My Tek ones allow you to disable it by holding down a button as you turn the meter on. I think the Fluke 87 does too. (I bought mine in 1988.)

I don't know all the model numbers, but the Flukes I have will allow you to keep them on by pressing a button when turned on.
