Those don't work worth two shits in my opinion, mine is off about 15dB

yeah, its easier to just guess the SPL than use one of those.

I played with one and it was 20 dB lower than my Term lab.

Also, it peaks out at like 135 dB.

Dont waste the money on that piece of poo.

Term Lab is the only way to go.

There isn't any limit on how many computers you install the software on. We've installed ours on like 5-6 at least so far.

odd... When I got term cad from the shop to do my wall blue prints it wouldnt install and kept giving me errors , so I had to use the shop computer.

I've been told that these things are actually pretty accurate.

All you need is a good DMM to use it.

Termcad is a wierd and wonderful special example, doesn't behave the same as the dB meter part :)

the hand held things are goot up till about 130's after that they dont work well at all also at about 150 they break and give readings as far off as 40 spl! buddy got one for free last year at sbn ! his port note was 180 in a 153 truck! after that it always read 200 at his dash!
