[Amps] Screen current problem solved!

[Carl]

That RCA load was on the dirt and the meter, cable and elements were still 
in the fellows vehicle. He didnt even realize they went together as the load 
had a dummy element in the coupler.

Besides digging thru layers of junk on the ground Ive found lots still 
inside vehicles or cruising by hours later when it is now on display.
