about $200.00 and doesn't fit every meter - just a few of the Tenma meters. For
now I'm going to use my RS meter, keeping in mind the limitations. I'd rather
spend the money on fuel at this point!</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>John:<BR><BR>Yes, it is very tricky. The
problem is finding the known reference. That's why we have to
re-calibrate so often even with a "quality" meter. AMA told me at the
time that the calibrator device itself was about $500.00... Of course,
it was designed specifically to fit over the mic of that particular brand of
meter, and may not be very accurate with another meter unless a custom head
was built to hold the calibrator exactly the same distance from the mic while
blocking all outside noise sources...</FONT></DIV>
