Hi there - a while ago I made a thread about recommendations for high
end multimeters. I ended up deciding to get the Fluke 189/FVF2. I put
in my order for it last week, and just heard back from Fluke (I am
buying direct through them) that it is no longer being made!!!
Apparently, the 189 needs some special custom IC that they have run
out of stock of, and for whatever reason cannot get more stock of. So
they're just killing the line.
I can still order from a distributor that has stock - but it worries
me. I mean - I certainly suspect this means that there will be a
replacement for the 189 soon.
So, fine people of SED, what do you think? Get a 189? Wait for a new
model? Any other models I should be looking at?
I've just been using a 189 actually and I'd get one. Nice meter. Look on
ebay
for a bargain one.

What will happen if that special custom made chip blows?

They said they're keeping extra stock on hand for repairs.
But they will run out at some point - so it is a worry.
