Dear Terry,

    We have used both Victoreen and Eberline for calibration and both 
did good work.  Generally, we like to use the original manufacturer for 
calibration work that we don't do in house.  I have been noticing in HP 
Journal that there are several startup calibration companies that have 
very "reasonable" pricing for a standard calibration.  You might also 
check that source.

    As an aside, have you thought about buying a check source set and 
doin the calibration of the E-120/pancake in house?
