Thanks for your comment. I have been watching your channel for a while now and you are one of the people that inspired me to start my own channel. I am doing the 6,000 count meter reviews in order of price, so I haven't recorded the Fluke 87V or the 87V MAX, yet. I realize my target audience is price-sensitive and for many the BM-235 is an excellent choice. But there are also some people that may want more accuracy. For example, the BM-235 DC Volts accuracy is 0.3% + 2 which is fine for most people but if you want 0.05% + 1 then you might be interested in the 87V. I know a random sample of one DM-235 may meet that accuracy, but if you buy one and it does not meet that, Brymen will not fix the meter because it meets its specification of 0.3% + 2. If the 87V can’t meet the DC Volts 0.05% + 1 specification, you can get it fixed. To most people Fluke seems overpriced, and for them it is. For some of us that have a different priority, it is not. It would be great if a company made a meter with 87V specifications at the price of the Thsinde 18B+, and someday I think that will happen, but until it does, we have to make tradeoffs.
Thanks for the review not only for this multimeter. I like the well performed tests and the comparison with the specification. I can imagine that the work for such review is hard. I appreciate your effort! I’m interested in the calibration circuits you have build e.g. the dc reference voltage shown starting at 5:00. do have a reference for the circuitries?
I did not build that reference I found it on Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SR9KTV6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 AD584KH High Precision 4-Channel 2.5V/7.5V/5V/10V Voltage Reference Module with Case at the YWBL-WH Store for about $22. I actually bought two of them and tested each with my bench meter, I picked the one with the closer values. If you want a pre-calabrated reference take a look at this voltagestandard.com/pentaref for $108, a bit pricey but I is much cheaper than buying you own bench meter, I already had the bench meters. You can specify each one of the five reference voltages from 0.1V to 10V. I did buy the 10V .001% reference they sell and I waiting for it to get here, they only ship USPS.
Thanks for the review. I want to ask what Fluke does what this meter does at even double the price?

@@N8FDY I look forward to viewing your other videos!

do you get a beep on the diode test..
cheers
Hi. Can this multimeter beep if the diode is broken into a short circuit?
It does not.
👍👍
only down side is lack off duty cycle
