have you offered to buy it???

no ones just going to give you one for charity

if you study Brad Anders d-jet page, you could figure out how to make one...a few club members have made thier own D-jet testers...

most testing done with the testers can be done with a common DVM (digital volt meter). i bought a tester off ebay, 'cause i wanted it and thought it would be cool to have one, for over $200. but i waste my money doing things like that alot.

I bought one at last year's Bug-In for $10. And it works! Only thing 'wrong' with it is a missing red indicator cover.

They're faster and easier to use than an OHM
