"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."
