MultiMeter Distribution

[scott.john.mockry@bangate1.TEK.COM]

Mark, 

I was indicating in my previous email that the Fluke 78 and 88 
Automotive specific Multimeters are only available through 
designated "automotive" distributors.........not 
through standard electrical/electronic distributors........
This Tool-Tronics appears to be a distributor of
 automotive products, yes?

I was not indicating that the standard electrical/electronic versions 
of the Fluke DMM's 73, 75, 76, 77 , 83, 85, 87 etc. were not sold 
through the automotive distributors. In other words, the restriction
is that the electrical/electronic distributors are not supposed to 
sell the automotive DMM (78 and 88) versions. Not vice-versa
Mac Tools (Automotive distributor) carries the standard 
electrical/electronic 
Fluke DMM's  as well as the automotive specific versions.
Hope that clears things up.

"they" is supposed to refer to the 78 and 88
