------- Steve, I am not sure if it is legal for trade to have a switch on digital scales. At least in US, I believe I learned somewhere that it is not allowed. Do we know for sure that such scales are legal for trade under the new EU directive? I thought there was an issue with the legality of the calibration. While the scales can be set to either displays once they are set and calibrated they cannot be switched back and forth. Again, ONLY on legal for trade scales! Or, It may be OK to switch and show other values to the customer but the only value you are allowed to sell by is the one it was calibrated for. Something like that! Adrian
