Electronics "Determining the test point values in a transmitter is difficult since reading them requires the access door to be closed. You could override safety and keep the door open, but that can be lethal. Verifying values while our transmitter is working correctly would be very helpful especially on the audio side so we would have accurate information to troubleshoot in the event of a transmitter failure." J.J., South Carolina "As a collector of vintage computing equipment, I often need to test and repair aging electronic circuits. Fluke 233 would ease the troubleshooting of display driver circuitry of an HP-35. With a detachable display, I would be able to monitor the outputs I'm testing without having to divert my attention to a meter at the side of my workbench, thus eliminating the risk of my probes slipping and shorting out a hard-to-find obsolete component." T.M., Ohio "Having a remote display would allow me to go up front in my shop and deal with a customer, while monitoring a voltage (or, more likely, a current) in a piece of gear cooking on the bench while waiting for an intermittent to show up. I work exclusively on vacuum tube gear (I build/repair/modify tube guitar amps for rock stars), some of which is nearly 50 years old, so being able to see what's happening from a distance without resorting to my usual method, i.e., seeing or smelling the magic smoke, would be a definite plus."
