Re: EXTEC meters E320X

I've also looked at the manual. There doesn't seem to be a way to shut off the "Sleep Mode" on this meter. :sad: Though..... I'd check to see if it really is shutting off sooner than the 30 minutes. Simple enough to have a egg timer ready and set for 30 minutes. Connect the meter to a volt...

Re: Looking for a new gadget....maybe new idea ?

Why not use a Baby Monitor? Plug the Baby Monitor Base unit into the circuit you want to check, with a radio nearby playing. Take the hand held receiver with you to the breaker box.

Re: Greetings!

Happy Holidays everyone! One more year of COVID. But the current strain seems to be not as bad as the previous ones. :| Well, the weather has been nasty this past last year. Hail storm back in May, put holes in the roof, and thus had to get it repaired. {Ugh!} :( The Air Fryer's that I got from Men...

Time to Hijack this thread!

RFID Antenna...... What about a standard FM 88 MHz to 108 MHz Frequencies Antenna? I have a little GE Clock Radio that uses a antenna wire wrapped around the AC Power Cord for reception. This normally works okay, but I have to move the Power Cord around sometimes to get the station in better. Or Re...

Spamming for Spammings sake?!

Why aren't these characters posting this SPAM on an Automotive website?

Instead of a Electronics Hobbyists website?

Re: loud tv commercials

High level signal into an external amp, aka speaker level like in car audio or even some subwoofer audio. Yeah, it's a pain to add more stuff onto the end run, but it seems to be the easiest way to gain access for analog solutions like we used to have. Anyway, years ago it was the blanking between ...
