sounds

    What do you say when you've quoted and the customer says; "that sounds like a lot?"

    Just curious, it doesn't happen to me often with what I charge but on occasion. Explaining what or why the costs are involved with the job never really seems to gain any ground.

    Fluke T110 continuity sounds

    Can someone tell me what the audible continuity sound a T110 makes ? I recently bought one and sent it to the Netherlands for the recall; a replacement was issued but the continuity sound is more like a warble than a continuous tone, which im sure the original had. Anyone know ??
