So after much drooling and Amazon refreshing, I broke down and bought a Maverick ET 732, figuring it seems to be essentially "the" remote read thermometer (and the consensus on Thermapen and WSM was spot on).
However, after taking it out of the box, either it is 1) broken; 2) not idiot proof; or 3) I've succeeding in inventing a better idiot. I followed the directions exactly-namely I plugged the probes into the transmitter, then placed the transmitter and receiver inches apart; turned on the receiver; turned on the transmitter; saw the satellite dish icon thingy flashed on each a few times; however, the temperature readings on all three read solid 3 dashes. I hit the re-sync button numerous times, to no change. I also turned the transmitter on and off a few times. Each piece still just reads dashes.
Each unit has brand new batteries (not the ones that came with it, ones directly from a new package).
Any thoughts? Did I get a lemon?
