    Correct testing of small batteries with a multi-meter.

    Thank you once again for your help. It was just the sort of advice that I was looking for. I had seen that there was a danger in not reverting back to volts on the multi-meter and because of that I will buy a specific battery tester. Thank you.

    Correct testing of small batteries with a multi-meter.

    Thank you very much indeed for that. I knew that they existed but wasn't sure if they would do all that I want them to do. I just looked at some and this one looks pretty comprehensive...

    Correct testing of small batteries with a multi-meter.

    That was really very helpful. Thank you. I actually wondered if I could do the same with my multimeter as in the 2nd video. When I am testing the batteries like this what sort of figure am I looking for on the screen ? I presume that I wouldn't be able to test C and 9V batteries ?

    Correct testing of small batteries with a multi-meter.

    I have a LAP MAS830B multi-meter and although I am capable of testing the voltage of small batteries, AA, AAA, etc. by having the leads plugged in the sockets as shown and turning the dial anti-clockwise to 20V I have thought for some time that I wasn’t getting the full picture. A lot of...

    Sudden problem with our SKY system.

    I did a bit of research. I found the name of the company and looked at the commpany's financial details. They are very comprehensive which is unusual and there is only one Director and he is making a shed load of money !

    Sudden problem with our SKY system.

    I think you would call the outfit independent. I Googled "Sky engineer" and found someone alledgedly near to me. But when he had done the work he phoned someone who I assume was a superior of some kind and that person obviously dictated what the price was going to be. In truth I think it is a...

    Sudden problem with our SKY system.

    Thank you very much for your help. You clearly know what you are talking about. I had "a man" in today and as you say, it was a faulty LNB that was the issue. As can be seen the cover had deteriorated and allowed the heavy rain to get inside. In fact, after he had removed it I turned it upside...
