What are the differences to pick between the Fluke 117 and the Fluke 115? My intended use would for ham radio and kit-building of electronic kits.

I have the 115, 116, and 117 meters. Personally I have not used the LoZ or Volt alert function on the 117. The 115 has all the features I have ever needed with one exception and that is the Temp probe feature. I think the 117 has a tiny bit more accuracy, but for your needs the 115 will be more than enough. A good review of the Fluke line can be seen at the following link: http://www.tequipment.net/fluke/fluke-117-vs-116-vs-115-vs-114/

I think the 3145 has a display screen & shows code on a numerical readout. The 3143 has an LED light which blinks the code. the 3145 is easier to use.

I have only used the Fluke version one time, so I really cant give you the best info. This unit worked very well for my novice field tech's and the fluke also worked well and didn't require and real training. so in my opinion take the cheap one.

I don't know. ..but our engineering department at the nuke site uses these same instruments. That's why I bought it. I use them to build Hot Rod s.

Really the only difference is the frequencies, (and the antenna is tuned for those frequencies). As to why, I bought the 2m/1.25m (144/220) because there is almost no activity in my area on the 70cm band (440) but there is a 1.25m repeater nearby that we (my wife is also a Ham, and also has a UV82x) can talk to each other on from just about anywhere in our area. So the one you want depends on the bands commonly used in your area. And in case you didn't know, this is a FCC Part 97 Ham Radio, as well as a Commercial FCC part 90 radio, both uses requires a FCC license to legally use. This radio is NOT part 95 legal (MURS and FRS/GMRS) Really the only difference is the frequencies, (and the antenna is tuned for those frequencies).

From avsforum - http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1050097 In the specific case of the 1909 vs. 789, the only differences (besides the cosmetics) is: 1. the 1909 includes a small, second remote intended for Zone 2 operation, and 2. the 1909 has a plug on the back labeled "RF/RC 2WAY", next to the Sirius plug. The function of this plug is to allow you to hard-wire a two-way RF remote controller (sold separately) to use in a different room. See page 20 of the manual for a detailed explanation. Hope that helps...

The specifications for each are online. One has greater wattage and runtime and projects a longer distance. You can compare to determine which one would suit your intended application.

No.And I would probably recommend saving the money and going with the fluke t5. My ideal was whacked with three months and they were not able to offer me warranty replacement or repair. 4 times the price, but worth it. Same functionality.

I haven't tried, but I've used both fluke and extech and I believe the probes are universal

Radioshack or online once you get the specs.My daughter loved this machine but it broke down so quickly...so disappointed.

Fluke's web site shows that the Max+ is better in every respect except battery life with laser and backlight on (10 vs. 8 hours) but Amazon inverted the prices today so there's no trade-off to make: Top-end: 500 versus 650 C Accuracy above 0 C: greater of 1.5 C or 1.5% versus greater of 1.0 C or 1.0% Response Time: &lt;500 ms versus &lt;300 ms Optical Resolution: 10:1 versus 12:1 Repeatability: greater of 0.8% of reading or &lt;1.0 C (2 F) versus greater of 0.5% of reading or &lt;0.5 C (1 F) For my uses measuring attic temperatures, fry pans, fuse boxes, computer chips, hard drives and compact florescent bulb ballasts that seem to get hot before failing, either model would be fine. I hope that getting a Fluke means that this will tolerate static electricity and drops better and maintain accuracy as the battery wears down or the sensor ages so the specs actually mean something.

I personally believe so. Fluke is the only name in industrail enviorment when it comes to meters(controls and instermintation tech here) and I wont trudt my life with any other brand. That being said, never depend on tools alone. Use good habbits, always make sure the detector works on a known live circuit to make sure its not malfuctioning.

Hello!.... Technically, none. There's no difference between those two kits. Except for the color of the strobes. Regards.

Kim I'd go for the 122 rather than the 118 for removing tiles. The 118 hits harder due to its longer throw but is harder to control. I've got both and use the 122 nine out of ten times because it still hits hard but has more finesse. Lifting tiles and cutting light car body panels I use the 122. Smashing out suspension hinge pins and rusted suspension sleeves I use the 118.Hope it helps.

Fluke 115, test leads, instruction book-tons of room-bigger than the meter-could probably put two or three meters in one case. Hopes this helps
