handheld voltmeter

Any opinions for a decent quality hand held voltmeter (and/or multimeter) for tube biasing? I know Radio Shack sells them, but maybe you've got a better recommendation? Really only need one that measures milliwatts - no?

Be certain what you get has plug-in leads. Then again- spring for a Fluke, and you'll never regret it.

Meterman Whatever one you buy, be sure to get additional probes including ones which will clip onto test points. You will need your hands free to make the bias pot adjustments while watching the meter.
