If it's anything like it's little brother, don't waste your money, it's awful: http://www.altronics.com.au/index.asp?area=item&id=Q1520 Note the Ohms jack is shared with the current jack, probably the most annoying feature in the history of multimeter features.

The first one made a loud bang and fried itself the first time I tried to measure mains with the USB connected to my computer. I was very lucky not to lose my computer or fry myself. www.mike-warren.net/tmp/Q1520c.jpg www.mike-warren.net/tmp/Q1520d.jpg Also, one of the LEDs in the display started flickering after about 13 months. >Note the Ohms jack is shared with the current jack, probably the most >annoying feature in the history of multimeter features. No it isn't, but having volts and ohms on separate jacks makes for a lot of lead swapping. The jacks are:[10A] - [uA/mA] - [Hz/Ohms/mV] - [Com] - [V] -- - Mike
