okay this may be an easy question... I am using a Snap On DMM model # EEDM503B (here's a link: https://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/pro_det.asp?P65=&tool=diagnostics&item_ID=16690&group_ID=1369&store=IntBrowse&dir=catalog)

I am testing the resistence of two wires at the 20k ohm setting and I get .60 ... is that .60 ohm? (like less than 1 ohm?) or is that 60 ohms? or what?

it means .6 K ohms or 600 ohms, the scale is kilo with a max of 20K

man I hate using non-auto ranging meters
