There are a few differences. I have a "home" unit that reads PPM on its
display in 1 ppm increments with a much faster response time than the UL
requirements - that is, the display is fast and the alarm is according to UL
specs. If I leave it outside (in the plane) overnight in the winter it
doesn't work correctly. I leave it my flight bag and bring it to the airplane
when I fly. I don't think that any battery operated unit would work well
in the low ambient temps we've been having.
Has anyone used the clock/CO meter/OAT gauge/Voltmeter that's been
advertised in the magazines? It looks like a nice product...
