Hi Clyde,

Standard weather informational tools like a sling hygrometer have a
"tolerance" of + or - 5%. The little gauges are very dependant upon the
*range* they are in. For example the radio shack gauge claims + or - 7% but
 *only* from 25% to 40%, outside that range the tolerance becomes much
larger + or - 15%. (I read these figures some years ago so this information
may be dated and therefore suspect) 

The best electronic cheap gauge I have found is a bionaire. It matches my
sling hygrometer very well.
