Wish I had still got it.

I’ve had more apprentices dancing a Jig with it than I can remember. It was done to me as well! It was part of your right of passage in to the trade.

Maybe Megger feel bad that we have had so many problems with the 1700's and they want to make things right...

Just had a firmware update done on our MFT 1720, still getting big differences between 2 wire low and 3 wire high L-E loop impedance tests.
Bought it for the ease of 2 wire testing earth loop testing, seems 2 wire tests are not accurate.
We too were contacted by phone, they do give a good after sales service.

I've given up completely on 2-wire no-trip testing on my 1730. The 3-wire is what I would expect but the 2-wire readings are sometimes double!
