i'm sure it's me...

i can't seem to measure the resistance of any of my attys/cartos with the multimeter i have here (picture attached). when i touch the red probe to the center and the black probe to the threads, it reads as if the probes are touching each other (0 ohms). can't figure what i'm doing wrong. halp! maybe some pictures to show the proper way to do this? or a video? or some links to a video? thanks in advance..

i think i figured it out...this multimeter doesn't offer resistance readings in the range i need. it's one and only resistance setting is 1k ohms, and i probably want a lower range than that, right?

Ya... the atties are in the range of 2.5 to 3.2 ohms. Not 2500 ohms (2.5k).

found an old valhalla scientific multimeter in the basement, and i must say i'm bamboozled by all these buttons. someone help!

is this maybe not the best place to ask this question? i just wanna be able to measure my atty/carto resistance, nothin fancy...
