Default RE: DIY Loaded Voltmeter Help

Rich,
You are correct. I do exactly what RJ is reommending.
I make a requirement before I buy any meter that these dual banana plugs fit.
You may have some trouble getting the resistors you need at Radio Shack.
Hopefully you have a real electronics store in your area.
Rodney is also correct, use the higher wattage resistors if you can.
They will last longer and don't get as hot.
Good Luck,
