I have a couple of the Radio Shack 63-855 digital hygrometer/thermometer, and have been pleased with them. However, I just went to buy a new one, and was told that they no longer make them, or a similar small size either.

I've been looking on-line, and been considering a Caliber II that I found for under $20. Any thoughts/comments/advice?

I've got a caliber II, works fine.

Thanks for the help. Anybody familiar with the "Little Havana" cigar shaped hygrometer?

I'm not sure why you would have been told they are no longer made, but I just priced out one with the three receiving sources this weekend. There was no mention of them no longer being available. The Manager I spoke with was willing to order more (there were only 2 sources there) and actually said they were a great seller. If you'd be interested in them, I would be more than willing to pick one up and send it to you.

The Caliber II has always worked well w/ me. Have had oit for a while and have yet to replace the Batt.

lstn2dmb- Thanks for the offer; I would have, but I've just ordered a couple Caliber II's. I don't know why I was told that by 2 different outlets: both said that the code # 63-855 didn't show up on their computer (after I had to explain to the entire staff in both stores what a 'hygrometer' was), and was therefor discontinued. I asked if it defaulted to, or was replaced by a newer model, and was told 'no'. I asked if they could find out if any other outlets in town had any left, and was told the location of one, and that I was welcome to check for myself. Maybe because I live in NYC- not exactly known for customer service...Thanks for the help, Radio Shack
