Always been curious about that; I don't like autoranging meters either - but
I've never really worked out why.
Maybe I just like knowing what a tool's going to do, without feeling like it's
second-guessing me - but that logic probably doesn't really make much sense in
a multimeter context :-)
branded by JDR--decent enough, but no continuity
buzzer.
I know that for at least one of the meters I had, the buzzer was on the lowest
resistance range, rather than a separate function - so could be irritating in
certain situations (I ended up adding a switch so I could disable the buzzer).
My holy grail would be a meter where the test leads didn't auto-tangle on the
bench as soon as my back was turned for more than five minutes ;-)
