Tom: Thanks for the note. It is too bad this tape measure is not going to be made anymore. It is well made. The case has with stood several drops and general abuse.
I do have an old echoplus somewhere. It would be worth hooking them up to see what happens. I looked in my mail logs. I do see where you tried to send me an email directly. It was rejected because ski.org does not have a DNS entry. If my mail system can't verify the sender's IP address, it won't accept the email. I have this configured to try and cut down on spam. Sorry about that.
