07:39 PM rue_shop3: did you buy it or was it a going away present from the mil?
07:40 PM zhanx: i bought it
07:40 PM rue_shop3: those are nice ones
07:40 PM zhanx: my 115 was a going away present
07:40 PM rue_shop3: heh
07:40 PM rue_shop3: have you seen the lower grade "disconnect the measuring head and watch the numbers from other there"?
07:41 PM zhanx: yea they are nice but when you hand it and a 10.1 tablet to some one that is not a electrical guy they tend to run
