Thanks. this has been posted a couple times in the last several months...

I'm not impressed with it. Too many drawbacks.

I'd seen it before and thought it was pretty cool. I sourced (but haven't priced) the current probe. It'd be fun to play with out by the lake on a summer evening with an HT and a few cold 807s.
