Thsinde 18B+ Review

This is a review of the Thsinde 18B+ multimeter for use in hobby electronic project primarily related to amateur radio. A written review is available on Github github.com/TomWilkinson/Multi....
I am not a professional, I am a hobbyist. This review is not sponsored; I bought this multimeter with my own money. I only used and tested this multimeter in CAT I and CAT II environments. I do not have a way to review or test the safety of this meter. I leave the CAT III and CAT IV environments to trained and licensed professionals. It may seem like I am a Fluke fan boy, but I recognize their flaws along with their advantages. There may be unintended mistakes and/or errors in this review.

Another great review Tom. A $20 meter fits my budget and accuracy is good enough for home use.

It pretends to be like Fluke 18B+. The used name indicates that, I think. The're pretty much better fuses, than usually found 250V-fuses, are nice. Gives a feeling of more reliability. The used microchip is always the same in those cheap multimeters, it's the DTM0660L, this time in a normal IC package, not directly bonded onto the board.

My meter shows 450 ma and when I switch to amps it shows 4.5 amps instead of .45 amps. Isn't .45 amps still 450 ma or did they go metric.

This meter acts a little different on current than most. On most meters the A and mA are on the same position on the rotary switch and you just change the lead from mA/uA jack to the A jack. On this meter you must change the rotors switch to A and change the lead to the A jack to get the correct reading. If you leave the rotary switch in mA and just move the lead to the A jack when measureing 450mA my meter give me 4.2. If you change the rotor switch to A you will get .450 A. I how this helps.

Can you please provide the processor number
