hygrometer question... please
Obviously, the hygrometer that came with my humi is vitually useless so I want to replace it with something decent. I know that many recommend the Radio Shack hygrometer but then I read that even some of these are "off". Are there other recommendations for a good accurate hygro at a price of $50 bucks (or less)?
Thanks |

Unless you buy an NIST traceable and certified hygro, you can never be sure the digital hygro you buy is dead on accurate - you still need to do a salt test....

Go to Walmart and buy an Accu-Rite. About $13.

I was looking at therms and stuff at the Mart lastnight. I'll have to see about getting one of those to complete my collection of inexpensive digitals.

Spend about $30 on a pound of beads instead of wasting $$$ on a hygrometer!

I'm with Anodyne - don't obsess over numbers.

I purchased the beads last night as well as a Western Caliber III. I like the idea of having some kind of meter to let me know what's going on in there.

The Caliber III is a good choice, I have over 30 of them and they are very accurate and consistent. |

Is Caliber III the most accurate hygo in the market? |
