  1. David It does the same thing with or without leads..  I think it has got a "bug" inside.  Right now with leads in it shows -290 volts DC and climbing.  My 30-year-old cheapy worked great.  It was a sad day to throw it away. 

    I think you are right,  I'll return it. 

  2. I got a new digital multimeter last week cuz I left my 30-year-old multimeter out in the rain.  

    So, this is a Klein MM200.  My question is even WITHOUT the leads plugged in on both AC and DC the display is constantly changing volts ( negative 90 to positive 30)  and NEVER shows ZERO.  The leads are not plugged in!!!!  With the leads plugged in it does the same thing.  I'm trying to wire a 7 wire trailer plug and I don't feel I can trust this thing.  I surely can't trust it on the blinker wires....  It works fine on an AA or the truck battery but I don't need to measure any known voltages. 

    Any ideas other than trash it?

  3. I just went through some of what you are going through.  I was torn between thermal or NV.  I went thermal route because with thermal I can see something sitting still if it is camouflaged.  You do get what you pay for like with anything.  From what I have read if you can't focus it everything "hot" is a blob. THIS guy gives a great review with explanation. 

    If you decide to go with OP do call and work em hard on price, they deal.

  4.  I am near Fairview.  So that kinda makes that it an easier decision.  I don't want marginal 3G because I have to tether for my computer internet.    I am happy with my Verizon coverage.  When I travel I rarely have any issues with coverage.  

     

    Thank you guys.  

  5. Google Project Fi

    This looks interesting.  

    I was thinking of going with a Nexus 6P and found the Fi Project. 

    iPhone fanboy drawback: Only Nexus phones work on their network.    

    We are using Verizon and I really don't have any complaints except cost.  I feel like we could get a cheaper plan, somewhere. 

    Google Project Fi looks like a very simple, reasonable alternative to one of the main carriers.  

    Anyone using Fi and have an opinion one way or the other?

     

     

  6. I had two MobileMinis for a couple years and liked them.  I felt my stuff was secure but the things I found to be a problem that were not mentioned above (I don't think was mentioned). 

     

    1) bottom is made out of wood.  With that being said, it's not going to keep mice or snakes or other creepy crawling things out.  Side note: Was told it has a wood floor so they sink when they fall off ships.  Must happen a lot.  Was told by a ship captain that.  Captain said they don't want large metal "bobbers" floating around in the ocean. 

     

    2) although there is a lot of room, what you put in the back is going to be buried in there when you want to use it.  Unless it's just used for long term storage.  

     

    3) hot summers in Tennessee will make it literally rain inside the unit unless you are in and out every day.  Trapped moisture will build up fast and it will eventually turn into condensation/rain with cool nights and hot days.  My unit was on prepped ground and 4x4's.  Probably better to be on a slab, less ground moisture.  

     

    4) with number 3 being said stuff inside rusts or molds really really fast.  

     

     

    I would still use one but my mission for one would have to be very specific.

  7. YIKES!  I've had one side not both.  2 days after the surgery I felt likeI had been shanked with a rusty shiv.  When they tell you rest, rest..  My meds made me feel like I could get going sooner than I should.

     

    Get well soon!!  Prayers.....

  8. I am a flashlight addict.  I have mostly Surefire and Streamlight.   Surefire is rock solid but sooooo expensive and streamlight is a lot of bang for the buck.

     

    Something I can say about Surefire is their customer service.  I had an Aviator that had some issues so I sent it back 3 times.  That was very aggravating but it gets better.  On the 3rd time I was worn out on spending my money on tracking so I just sent it regular mail without tracking.  I know that was stupid but I was so tired of $15 to ship.  When I called Surefire, they never got it or the guy in the mail room enjoyed my Aviator.  Customer service listened to my story apologized for my inconvenience and sent me a brand new Aviator free of charge.  THAT IS SOLID!
