Nice closeup picture. For those who insist on calling this a "Diawa", check the logo in the upper left corner of the meter.

And JoeDirt - a Bird 43 isn't reliable as a comparison unless it's been recently (within 6 months ago) calibrated by a lab that specializes in that. A brand-new, fresh-out of-the-box 43 would probably be trustworthy. Give it six months of daily use and it would be questionable. Each slug used with that specific 43 has to be calibrated WITH the 43. I used to do that work for the Navy. They are rugged, a little bit short of bulletproof, though, and not laboratory-standards quality for accuracy.
