I love my flukes, but I've had this glitch. Of course, I know the workaround; go on manual and get to the range that gives you the reading. Thanks for elucidating the mechanism.No, boyze, your Flukes are not P O S. I have three, two 27s (the pride of my bench), and a 73 for my road axe. On any measurement, these three (one calibrated a year ago, one three, one no data) agree to the third significant figure.
Follow Ups:
The 27 is O-ring sealed, built for mine safety, and all that good stuff. Doubles as a hammer. I'd think it would be the best one to have bouncing around in the car. I still have mine (somewhere) and it has to be over 20 years old.Don't be in a hurry to upgrade. I have the new 189 and it has some nice features but it is big and....well....I liked my old model 87 more....what can I say. They also changed the amp probes....for the worse.....and the lifetime warranty looks to have gone away as well.
and comes in that bright yellow condom, so I can find it in the pile with my specs off.All the Flukes have sort of a dark display, don't they? You got to have real good light on them to read them easily.

I agree with russ57 but I think it's a service feature built in. The 87, 787 and 789 are standards in my trade. Rough tough and built to take a licking like in the coal fired powerhouse I'm working in now.
