Thanks again. After all this I ended up going with an Aquacontroller Jr. and their probe (I got a good deal) but I'll be using the probe you pointed out when I need a new one.

Yes it does. I'm only looking at 2 point callabration, 1/100th measurement.

I guess my real question is, is this a "you get what you pay for" item. I.E. is a $100 meter necessarily better than a...

Thanks Randy.

One reason I was not terribly impressed with the stats of the handhelds is that they do not go to 1/100th degree. I never minded the battery on the Pinpoint, it just forced me to...

Back to the top. I have a possible trade offer, but I'd prefer cash, so we will give this one last shot.

$185 shipped is the lowest I'll accept, otherwise I'll either take this trade, or keep it.
