[Amps] How do you measure HV with reasonable accuracy?

[Jim Barber]

Good point. The 80K-6 is designed to work with a 10M input impedance.

I have two meters that should qualify, but if not I may be able to sneak 
up on a 77-4 if I do it ... quietly ... without Her (or is it "She") 
hearing...

Thanks,
