[QUOTE="Coyoter, post: 102776, member: 236"] The guy from EBay said it was no longer available, or maybe that's just the impression I got. Used, it set me back about $42 with "Buy it now" for $35+S&H or I could have started with his $25 opening bid and taken my chances at auction. Having one now, I haven't asked at the local Radio Shack to see if they have them or can still get them. One thing I forgot to mention in my initial post is that the Radio Shack model gives more instantanious readings. The Meteos has to spin up to speed when the wind gusts and often the wind is dying down by the time it gets up to speed. The Meteos will say that the last gust was 18mph and the R.S. model will say that it gusted to 22 because of the mechanism differance. The same is true during lulls where the Meteos slowly winds down too. I don't think that the differance is something that's of great effect in the field. I can't see having someone hold the meter and yell "now" when the 15mph wind you've compensated for hits the meter and yanking off an accurate shot. Coyoter [/QUOTE]
