RE: Fluke 9010/9020 question

Fluke no longer makes test equipment like these. After the buyout from
Danaher, they have been told to concentrate more on portable, handheld test
and measurement equipment.

The decline in military sales was the final nail in the coffin for high-end
Fluke test equipment. The only remaining high-end products are in their
verification tools division, which produces exceptional calibration
products (and they bought out the similar Wavetek division this summer).

It's sad, but there isn't the business for such devices like there was
10-15 years ago. Fluke would rather forge alliances with other test
equipment manufacturers (such as Agilent - ex HP) rather than make
equipment like this anymore.
