I have since sold the Birdog and recouped 85% of my loss and I now pledge to never spend more than $75 on a plastic meter again. I have used my old faithful channel master for 6+ years and it is built like a tank.
Here is a great idea for anyone who can get the message to the R&D guys in the meter market, start building your $400+ meters in a steel casing and makem tough as a channel master. Then I'll throw down the dough.
