"thank you Brian for the quick response.

I have purchased six of 'em in the last two years. Most for gifts. They seem to be fairly accurate, well built, and your $21.59 price is good.
Only drawback is that the KWH and Hours (elapsed time) are volatile.
Brian, guess I'm always looking for too much. Response time, bandwidth, downloadable, and on the cheep!
Happy New Year Everyone and Best Wishes

There aren't many places or times you'll get banged for only a buck.
