the HF meters work just fine, they are within .5 of a volt of my fluke
I totally agree but what are the odds that all HF meters are good compared to Flukes. My Fluke was around $200.00 and HF are given away free. How much quality control was involved between the two? Maybe out of the tens of thousands of HF meters, you got lucky with one that works. Congratulations. I'm not here to argue a American/chinese tool debate, I'm just trying to find a reason for his unreasonable voltage readings. His problem is the main topic here..
BTW, for a guy who knows quality equipment, what the heck are you doing with a free Chinese meter?? They're not heavy enough to be used as a boat anchor.. :B
