fantom Posted July 12, 2011 Report Posted July 12, 2011 For those of you that don't have one: http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11644888&cm_mmc=BCEmail_653-_-FOCUS-_-18-_-MarketingItemName I'm sure you can get the same price elsewhere, and they are interesting, even at lower altitudes.

Parker_Woodruff Posted July 12, 2011 Report Posted July 12, 2011 Thanks for the heads up - I just ordered one. Should be useful in my goal of busting 300 knots in the flight levels this winter. Quote

Bennett Posted July 12, 2011 Report Posted July 12, 2011 Thanks, Good price for a pulse oxymeter. I aslo ordered one, even if I can (no longer) bust 300 knots Quote
David Mazer Posted July 12, 2011 Report Posted July 12, 2011 fantom, do you know how well and how accurate this model might be? Quote
thinwing Posted July 12, 2011 Report Posted July 12, 2011 it looks the same as my 79.oo model...price on these gizmos really dropping since I bought mine...to check its accuracy take a reading at sealevel and compare to same individual at 12k...and yep natures airconditioning ,go up high!!..kpc Quote
fantom Posted July 12, 2011 Author Report Posted July 12, 2011 Plus or minus 2.5%, or so. Basically good enough. Quote

Seth Posted July 12, 2011 Report Posted July 12, 2011 I ordered one. It's on backorder. If it's not good, I'll return it. I'll give PIREPS once I have one. -Seth Quote
Seth Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 Short backorder - it arrived yesterday and though I haven't tested it flying yet, I am impressed by the display. I tested it on a few people at the office, and it seems accurante enough for our needs. I would of course learn your specific "regualr" readings as a baseline, and then from there see how it works in the air. The display is much better than I though I would be getting for price. Again, once I go flying with it, now that I have it, I'll post a PIREP. Obvously I don't plan to fly past 14,000 feet for now - probably not much past 12,000 Feet. I do plan to get a small portable oxygen system to take advantage of eastbound trips in the future. Quote
fantom Posted October 29, 2011 Author Report Posted October 29, 2011 The Costco sale on Oximeter's is on again. Good to have if you're over 5,000 ft at night or 10,000 ft in daylight. I paid about 4 times as much five years ago. http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11659965&cm_mmc=BCEmail_682-_-Focus-_-40-_-MarketingItemName Quote
