Guest guest Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Dan, I know you've mentioned these meters before. I thought it was determined they were not as accessible as the 2 I mentioned.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Hello, Pat and all, The Fora meters are made in the same factory in Taiwan as the Prodigy Voice. They used to be one company. The Fora V20 is a clone of the older Prodigy Voice. I'm not familiar at all with the others. Dotty -- Email services provided by the System Access Mobile Network.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Are you saying this FORA meter is like the original Prodigy Voice where you couldn't keep from activating the buttons? I actually was still using this version of the meter, despite getting the newer one, until I began using the Solo V2 a few months ago. It's a good meter just the same.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Hello, I don't know about that, as I only read the manual and learned from a trusted source about the first Fora meter being, in essence, a clone. The problem of pressing the buttons has a lot to do with the case the meter comes in. Dotty -- Email services provided by the System Access Mobile Network.
