It's actually perfect for working on cars because the way it is set up I get a 0-16V scale on one setting. There is also a 0-8V setting which would be perfect for the 6V cars, but I never see any of those. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
