[QUOTE="OldRed, post: 1711815, member: 91482"] Digital scales all hunt (jump up and 1-3 digits) on the last digit at their highest resolution. Many will hunt on the smallest digit no matter the scale. The hunting is noise Thad causes the scales to read over and under when the weight is between a value that falls on a point that solidly holds that last digit. No matter how good the electon ice there is some noise. To test if it's a electronic noise problem put a fresh 9 volt battery in it go out in the country 3-4 miles away from any large power lines drive out in the middle of the feild ans set up and level a ltable put the scales inked a wind screen (cardboard box) add test it there. The middle of fielded is as good for electronic noise testing as Million dollar Anechoic chamber and lot easier to find. A lot of gun ranges are quite enough to test radio gear. Your scales may be fine and sitting to close to your WiFi router, a power supply, a neighbor with a really noisy motor or appliance or a problem on the power line. The uninterruptible pore supply with it's not quite sine wave AC could be the prob,em. Those things have given me lots of grief most of it a long time ago. [/QUOTE]
