    Speaking of DVM's, how does the one sold by Heathkit compare to the 
other DVM's.  Last I checked, it was selling for about $90, and
did capacitance, hfe and frequency in addition to all of the normal 
functions.  I realize that flukes are probably more accurate, but most of
the time if I'm within 5% its close enough.
    I also just played with the new DVM that Radio-Shack is selling that
has voice output.  Originally, I was just playing with it as a new gadget,
but the voice feature actually might be useful when checking circuits.
Two things that the RS DVM didn't have are an earphone jack and a logic
mode.  The first would be nice so you don't annoy other people who might
be within listening distance, and would be useful in a noisy environment.
The second mode would have been nice for trouble-shooting digital circuits.
ie if it said either 1/0 or H/L for TTL or CMOS.
