Ok, here are the final readings:
Western III: 74% Diamond Crowns: 68%, 69%, 74%, 77%, 77% Not too horrible, but two of the Diamond Crowns are out of speck. They are suppossed to be "accurate to + or - 3 percentage points" I'm now testing another another two Diamond Crowns and one Radio Shack wireless. I wonder if they'll let me return/replace the two Diamond Crown units?

I have 1 digital only for the wine cooler. I recently checked with a 69rh Boveda pack from a recent box purchase. I just sealed the digital inside two ziplock baggie with the Boveda. Was surprised was reading light by 4 two recent tests. Now I just add 4 to whatever it says. The feel test usually works for me also when all else fails.

I only have one digital that reads +7%
I rarely look at and calibrate it once a year. If I feel inclined to do so, I will move it to one of my 9 coolers, but don't use anything in my 3 desktops. Don't obsess over numbers......

Hygrometer
I know this is an old post, but I just salt tested the 2 Holmes digital hygrometers that I have and both are off 12-15% on the low side. I suspected that all along, but felt the urge to confirm it.
