Was told Maverick was the best. Bad probes? Need to spend $40 more on "upgraded" probes? So, this is actually an $85 unit if I want it to work? Am I missing something here? Think I may cancel the order?

I ordered the extra probes because they were twice as long as the ones that come with the unit. The extra length allows me to keep the transmitter farther away from the heat of the smoker, also I can keep track of 4 items by changing the probes on the transmitter. Never has a problem with the probes that come with the unit.

I have not had occasion to need a probe, but you might try this link. http://www.maverickhousewares.com/parts_and_service.htm

I just want to reiterate another persons comment above. If you get the "HHH" display, it is the probe that has gone bad. It just happened to me. But I had ordered a spare probe, so I was quickly back in business.

Hi, Not exactly sure why I have this cable...related to a firmware upgrade by connecting from the scope to the PC? You may need an extra cable with a USB on one end, and male compatible adaptor on the other end. I picked up this extra cable from Fry's electronics. Best regards, Tom

Kristen I can't answer or explain other folks' problems no more than I can answer if their scopes were mounted correctly. I can say that I've never had problems of any kind with UTG equipment other than their rheostats being a bit irritating sometimes. So far, I've not had any problems with the scope in question. The scope has performed perfectly from day one and I've put a bunch of rounds down range and it remains perfectly reliable. Is it the equal of a $2000.00 scope....obviously not, but it does work quite well and the glass is satisfactory. Just my cents worth. Paul

I have spent the last two weeks trying to find an external TV tuner that is ready for the digital TV next February. I have searched all over the internet. I am also looking for a stand alone tuner. I have found analog standalone's. I have found digital usb tuners. But I have not found a digital standalone. I gave in and ordered a $40 coupon from dtv.gov so that I can buy a digital converter and use the analog tuner.Hope this helps!Dave

Max,I got a new HT via A,azion.com and it came from Radio mart in KY. Just way to many of you are worried about the newest version. My newest version is a 5RA and it has the 2nd to the last firmware.But that means nothing at all. All you need to know is here. http://www.miklor.com/ Please join the list but those guys will just tell you to read up in the files.I like mine,it has a siren,the case is beautiful but it has it's quirks. Guys are downloading software but I did mine manually. Some need WIN XP and others using VISTA need to download an updated driver. PLEASE DO NOT WORRY ABOUT LATEST FIRMWARE as i may only be a restriction on what you can or can't do out of the ham bands. I called this pure junk because it is hard to manually program it and at timed I'm in FREQ mode and it jumps into memory mode. Keep in mind that the mailing list is very,very large and many still do not have a TECH license. Use it as it was intended for and don't try making a queen mary from a canoe. Many are still using the very first unit and have no problems http://www.409shop.com/shop_displaynews.php?id=608&userid=100556 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/baofeng_uv5r/ These links will help BOB AF2Q

The one I got was broken and had parts missing right out of the box, I would make sure you check "Every" part "Before" you even attempt to put it together, and if "One" tube is slightly "dented" or "bent", it won't work... If all the parts are there and in "Perfect Condition", then be very "Careful" and follow the directions... But like others have said it's not a very good antenna anyways... So I would just ship it back and get something like "Solid Signal Xtreme Signal HD1080X 2-Bay Bowtie UHF and High Band VHF TV Antenna 35 Miles UHF/VHF (HD-1080x)" or if you need Longer range get a "Solid Signal Xtreme Signal HDB91x VHF/UHF HDTV Antenna (HDB91X)" good for 70+ Miles" That's my recommendation...

Hello, to answer that I would have to go to all the specs. Basically another port and a brighter light would be work 25$ if you need it. I am using a back-lit system (from another source) - and with my very dedicated function (in a research lab) I would have no use for the other port. The scope I got was a great deal - and seems to be amazing for the price. If you need those other elements I would say go for it.

Me too! Just been a few days. Researched lots. Bought the True2Go kit at Walgreens for about $15. Comes with just 10 strips <buy these for extra!>, and has a bag of lancets but you'll need more after a few days.Go with 33gauge for comfort.Works on tough skin, too by adjusting the depth setting on the lancer from 1-5. I began with 1 and went up until it pricked my finger with the 3. Highly suggest the True2Go. Takes the littlest dtop of blood, very gentle on the skin once you find the depth dial you need. I use 3, my bf needed a 5 <he tested the unit for me>, holds many readings in memory, too! Me too! Just been a few days. Researched lots. Bought the True2Go kit at Walgreens for about $15.

I'd pass on this unit, mine works quite well however my brother in law bought one as well as a neighbor & both of them are soo poor you honestly can't make out anything, just general shapes. However on a daytime scope, an ATN or equiv. Gen. 2 monocule works quite nicely, the problem is by the time you add the scope swing arm & Ir light you right at the price of a PS22 which is far & beyond any duel purpose monocule. If a Gen. 2 is out your budget, I'd consider a high focus spot LED gun mount with a pressure switch, it's on&off instantly. You can train & make your shot in less than 3-4 secs. Just some options....

It is an outstanding unit and you will not be disappointed. however, it probably is over-kill. i recall there is a less expensive unit that i bet is more than adequate...I recall it was basically the same unit but maybe without certain attachments?

Maverick has a hybrid probe on their site for the 732 / 733. Part number PR-022 which is waterproof, but I can't tell if this is that part. Amazon usually has the part number in the description, but not this time.

FWIW, I had a replacement probe I bought in December 2013 fail after a handful of uses. I contacted Polder direct and they arranged to send me a new one immediately. They're apparently guaranteed for life...

Hi Ed, I am calling them right now, so far, I've only heard negative responses from customer service e-mail. This is getting rediculous. I am not ready to give up. I have been watching this set for months now, so I decided to take the plunge. Most respectable electronics dealers have such a price guarantee otherwise most people would just keep waiting.

Well, it is a good tool - when it works. Mine worked great for 2 smokings, but the barbeque probe just went bad on the third session. I would upgrade to the good probes. It's quite convenient (when it works) having a remote temperature reading to carry around anywhere while the smoker works away!
