This is true.

I readily accept the fact that my technique was sloppy and my results showed
it. I just hope it was not due to an outside source. I can't afford to move.

But, I am new to this. My naive reasoning may be flawed. I would appreciate
any further comments on this.

Thanks.

I use my 8405 extensively, have two of 'em, and I've never had any indications
of negative resistance. What are the meter indications that seem to indicate
negative resistance?
