    Just occurred to me that one could add another EMeter or just another
meter so that the EMeter would not have to autoscan.  I wonder if a simple
resistor and a zinnier diode could be used to make an expanded scale analog
meter suitable for those high volt EV's using a millamp meter and redoing
the numbers by hand- using the EMeter as reference to calibrate the
handbuild.
     Also I belive I saw a handbill some years back from i think a Florida
based company --maybe S.A.L.T.-- that made a battery monitor that used an
inductive pickup for amps.
