A lucky find

A VTVM has a 1 megohm resistor right at the DC probe tip to isolate the cable capacitance from the circuit being tested. Of course YOU would never think of using the right equipment.

You never do any precision work, so any old crap meter is fine, for you.

You don't care about detuning an RF or IF stage, or shifting the L.O.way off frequency.

Never piss off an Engineer! They don't get mad. They don't get even. They go for over unity! ;-)

Mpfffff...

No, I do not do precision work, which, in point-of-fact is probably the case as the typical Zenith or Hallicrafters or Tesla or SNR radio is not a precision instrument. But, they do just fine aligning with a Fluke meter ILO a VTVM.

Nor, of course does Old School. And, given his posts, is likely defeated by anything more complex than a rubber spoon.

You're trolling, as always.
