Anyone got a true rms voltmeter? Just got around to seeing this, and I'm sure you're quoting me -- anyway, no, the typical meter (analog or digital) is average responding, RMS equivalent reading. Peak-reading meters are very rare and specialized. Again, there is NO SUCH THING as "true RMS"; it's just RMS! Sorry to shout! Rich
