Rat Shack SPL meter calaibration

I understand that the Radio Shack SPL meters are not real accurate. I have the $60 digital readout unit. I have been playing around with it to try to work out a hump in the bass from my system using bass warble tones. Can anyone tell me where the problem areas are with these meters and what sort of compensation you need to do to interpret the info it gives you?

I did a search a few days ago and didn't find what you guys are refering to. I guess I will try again.

Thanks for the links Aroc. I read what was there and they are saying the digital and the analog are the same, other than the read out. The calibration chart will help out. The thing seems to be within reason except for the extreams. I sure as hell won,t worry about 1/2db. If your in room response is anywhere close to +or- 3db you are doing better than I think you should Realistc-ly(sorry)expect in most rooms.
