Heathkit IM 5228 VTVM

[Edward B Richards]

ER: Harvey;
 I read with interest your post. I have never seen an IM 5228 and don't
know it's specifications. I have 2 ea. IM -25 and consider them the best
I have ever seen, with 9 voltage scales (full scale .15 volt range),
separate ohms, voltage, and current range switches and it has a 3 by 6
inch (viewing area) meter too. It will operate on either 120 VAC or
internal batteries for field use.
PLease educate me and tell me what features the IM-5228 has that makes it
superior.
Thanks and best regards.
Ed Richards
