Omega doesn't make any instruments AFAIK, they have their name stuck on them by the real manufacturer. Some of it is European in origin. Best regards, Spehro Pefhany -- "it's the network..."

I am not familier with the Fluke version of the Omega HHM290. Could you point out the correct model number to me so I can buy the Fluke version next time.

I don't know whether Fluke makes that particular model. The point is, Omega is a distributor. I have nothing against distributors, unless they stick their Omega label on top of the real manufacturer's label, and then pretend they're the manufacturer. Sheesh.
