This thread got me thinking about the Stargate 3000. It seems they have the SG4000 out now, but despite the virtually universal desire for the SG 3000 to have some sort of manifold, they didn't incorporate one into the new $3200+ product...:rolleys: http://www.stargateinternational.com/index.php The SG3500 temp/humidity meter could be interesting if they have reduced the diameter of the probe from when the SG3000 first came out, as the SG products have a particularly good wireless range. A few years ago my interest in the companies products got derailed when they got pissy and took their instrument back when the first field tests on another forum were not all rainbows and light proclaiming the glory of their instrument...
Its a damned shanme. The Little Guy stands almost no chance these days. Digi Cool is a fantastic machine. I like my 1250, even tho I tried my level best to destroy it. Will be placing my order for the AK next payday. Can't wait to see what crawls out of their shop next.

It's funny how some people think if they aren't getting their panties pulled down and handed a jar a vaseline when they buy something the product must be garbage

Originally Posted by hvaclover Maybe I will buy The YJ manifold. Any reason you guys would advise against it? Buy AA batteries in case lots. It takes 8, and chews through them very fast, so fast that they give you a spare battery holder to facilitate speed loading!

I'm sure that Brenda will take care of you, but if she doesn't for some reason, they are available through digi-key online. I've got the part numbers around here, somewhere, if you need them.

The DRSA Bar Graph is patented

IMO you are absolutely right... and the co gets to say: SEE, our product is 'Made in Germany'. However the truth is... the case is full of Chinese parts. Are the Chinese parts good or junk? That question remains to be proven... I remember in the late 1950's-early 1960's when 'Japanese Transistor Radio' meant JUNK... Now nobody makes electronic components in the USA anymore.
