Anyone else have one of these gadgets? Finally got the wifey to tach the 450 and we're getting inconsistent readings-in normal mode rpm is 2110, idle up 2120-although you can tell just by the sound the difference is much larger. The 600 is reading at 2960, which is about 1000 more rpm than what you get with the online calc's.
It is entirely possible the WIFE is defective, not the unit itself.
Do these need to be calibrated before use, and if so how?
Also, just what exactly IS the capacity of the internal battery? The first page of the manual states it's a 4.8v 600ma nicd, the second page says 4.8v 800ma nicd, the last page says 4.8v 270ma nicd, and the unit itself has a sticker that says 4.8v 700ma nimh. :dontknow
