Ron,

I have done a number of tests on the digital scales your talking about, sorry to say, I didn't find them up to the job.

Found the fox scales read OK, IF you had a new battery in them every time, if not the scales gave the wrong reading.

Idid the test against a set of Avon's and heatons that had both been Calibrated, and showed to be weighing correct.

Shame that the Avons are not made any more.

Had a set of Avons, left them behind one day at a well known fishery. Someone had a lucky find!!

Use digitals now - salters, not as fasionable as the fox model - but chosen under the advice of the man in our calibration lab at work. Very happy so far.

Still carry a set of weighmasters, which I find more accurate if you wind them on 1lb first...
