Robyn,.......

Now I'm not saying they aren't very accurate, and I have a PE-2 as well. But if they are accurate within a 10th of a degree, why would the label on them state they are accurate within Plus or minus 1.8 degrees?. Depending on which side it is, this could be a fairly substantial difference.

I have aimed it directly at other thermometers of different types, and have come up with pretty similar temps, so they seem to be doing the job just fine for me. But you can shoot it at the same thing several times and come up with a variation of more than one 10th of a degree quite often.

Certainly not making a big deal out of it though, just stating some facts is all..LOL!


best regards, ~Doug
