R.G.	Re: Bias King Question Yeah, the LCD meters last for a LONG time on one battery. You do have to watch the specs on the meter you get if you plan to power it from rectified filament. Some of the meters say that they cannot measure their own power source, which I take to mean they can't share a common ground between -IN and their power supply. Those would be hard to get running on a rectified filament that was ground referenced.
