Think I'll stick to the more well known brands!! A loop measurement would be handier than the earth one.
Got to love the IR closed circuit tests -
[code:1]
250V 0.05MW ~ 200MW
500V 0.05MW ~ 300MW
1000V 0.05MW ~ 500MW

Agreed, but it's far better than some of the quaint Chinese documentation one sees. For non-Europeans, I suppose they (or their software) have/has almost got there with the symbols - lowercase of Ω looks like a 'w'!Think I'll stick to the more well known brands!!

Despite its limitations, the price obviously might well attract DIYers. However, they should bear in mind that import duty and VAT could add appreciably to what they end up paying.

I've found that quite of number of companies in that part of the world are - how shall we put this - "helpful" when it comes to sending items here.
And in fact in the earlier part of the 20th century it wasn't unusual for diagrams, tables, and so on to use the lower-case omega instead of the capital omega which is the convention today.
It does have Ω on the display.
Indeed so, but these people have limited their options by giving free P&P. Over the years, I've received many a delivery from the Far East, the contents of which have (according to the Customs declaration) had a surprising small value in comparison with the massive P&P
Indeed, but the capital omega is only used for 'Ohm' - in the sense of angular frequency (2πf) and angular velocity, the lowercase omega is still the standard symbol.
Kind Regards, John.
It does indeed. Maybe that was translated by different software
Kind Regards, John.
More likely the factory they buy the LCD displays from already makes the ones used by every test equipment manufacturer in the world.
UNI-T aren't that unknown a brand, they make some semi-decent multimeters: http://www.maplin.co.uk/ut58a-digital-multimeter-with-auto-socket-selectionguide-33174
