thats what I found Nelly, when i first got mine I inserted the No.5 button and we tried it on my mate Dallas's 748RS on which he had just had the belts tensioned by Brancato, after getting the wron reading I swapped to the No.4 button and got the correct reading, I put it down to the belts containing Kevlar in their construction but there is probably some other reason.

I'll probably go for the cheaper AST one. At over £300 the digital one is OTT for DIY use.

Is there plenty of room to get the AST one on to the belt ?
How easy is it to get a consistent, accurate reading ?

Thanks Nelly and Skidlids for answering. Havent used one yet myself. Would def go for the AST one though.

Thanks for all the info guys.
Especially re: the button 4 vs 5

AST one it is then.
