joe smith | Keysight U1282a Review Part1, Initial Checkout @joesmith-je3tq | Uploaded August 2022 | Updated October 2024, 4 days ago.
After 2000 of you crazy people decided to join this channel, I offered you a choice of which high end meter to look at. You chose the Gossen Ultra. With 20,000 of you now following, it seemed fitting to once again let you pick which meter to run. This time, you chose the Keysight U1281A. I wasn't able to locate stock and we ended up with its big brother.

Part 1, we perform an initial checkout of the Keysight U1282A

My video comparing the U1282A's GDT protection with the more common MOV approach. This video was inspired after watching the EEVBLOG review below.
