Hi again

I was probably being too subtle....

With the current price for the complete kit with the old model=20
receiver/display from ecogadget, and adding on the new receiver from=20
the currencost ebay shop, you are paying slightly less than the cost=20
of the complete new kit from the ebay shop and end up with two=20
displays...

This does not include P & P of course, but both receivers happily=20
display the same data from a single clamp
