This is a review of the Uni-T UT161E multimeter for use in hobby electronics projects primarily related to amateur radio.
A pdf document of this review: https://github.com/TomWilkinson/Multi...

his review was produced to help you decide if the Uni-T UT161E multimeter will fit your purpose and budget. This is part of a series of multimeters reviews.

Here is a link to the DMMCheck Plus site I mentioned in the video: https://dmmcheckplus.com

A good multimeter for hobby electronic projects should be able to measure millivolts, volts, microamps, milliamps, amps, ohms, nanofarads and microfarads.
If you want to measure picofarads, nanohenry, microhenry or reactance you will need a LCR meters. I cover the two LCR meters I own in another review.

I am not a professional, I am a hobbyist. This review is not sponsored; I bought this multimeter with my own money. I only used and tested this multimeter in CAT I and CAT II environments. I do not have a way to review or test the safety of this meter. I leave the CAT III and CAT IV environments to trained and licensed professionals. It may seem like I am a Fluke fan boy, but I recognize their flaws along with their advantages. There may be unintended mistakes and/or errors in this review.
