Don't auto ranging ones select the best range for accuracy?
If so I believe most of the zkleins are autoranging.
I'm sure some do. The ones I've used which admittedly have not been very high end, were all manual ranging.

This is not how accuracy on a meter reading is determined. A meter with a 1% accuracy means just that, any reading it SHOWS is accurate to 1%.Ken
That the 1% accuracy is for the range either manually or auto selected....not the entire range of the instrument

Here is a very recent article by Jeff Cote out of Vancouver. He writes articles for two cruising Pacific Northwest and BC magazines in their electronic section. He also is a yearly speaker at the Seattle and Vancouver boat shows:

I have had good service from the Uni-T 210 meter.
What model do you guys recommend?
I have chargers, inverter, 840AH Trojan batteries, battery monitor, main engine alternator, generator alternator 15A, generator dynamo 40A, wires, cables of all sizes.
I need a reliable, basic, not very expensive meter.
+1 on the Uni-T 210E....You have to be really careful measuring small DC currents with a clamp meter or you will end up with inaccurate results.

After dropping my Fluke 87V ($300+) in the water and destroying it, I decided to leave the Flukes at home and bought less expensive meters to use on the boat.
I agree. I had to learn to zero the meter in the spatial plane that I intended to use the meter in because it sees the earth's mag field and that shows as 2 or 3 milliamps bouncing around on the meter. Like any tool, 'ya can learn how to get the most out of it.)
