I have a 50ua meter with a resistance 1.085 kilo ohm reading from a
digital multimeter. I need to get this meter to read  300ma full
scale, I am having trouble coming up with a correct shunt calculation
using the formula in the ARRL hanbook, it is not explained in a great
amount of detail. Can anybody help me with the exact formula to obtain
the shunt value. I think i might be mixing or screwing up the ua to ma
conversion.
