Meggar MFT 1553 On site

[glen.mason]

Was just about to invest in a new test meter, got a Fluke but was going to go the whole hog and invest in the Meggar MFT 1553 On-Site. From what I've read this may not be advisable - software not working etc.
Anyone have any comments, should I. shouldn't I? Maybe get the cheaper 1553 without the software and fill the forms out by hand!

Hi I use a the MFT1553 with Power Suite Software. I have found that they work very well together although its debatable if bluetoothing the results to a laptop pda is any faster than typing them in.

I would not hesitate to recommend their package and technical support.
