Hi,
I got a good deal on eBay for a Promax HD Ranger 50 SE. It arrived yesterday and I have to say I am pleasantly surprised with this device.
As you probably know, I have a considerable collection of field meters and I was lacking a sample from Promax...
I hope to put a review on my blog, as soon as possible, but the key points that I liked are:
1) Great TFT screen
2) Very fast spectrum, especially remarkable on the terrestrial band
3) Good constellation diagram
4) I liked the possibility to SIMULTANEOUSLY show spectrum, live picture and measurements - the only other field meter that I own that can do it is the Spaun Sparos 711 (OEM of Sefram 787x)
5) Relatively small and light device
6) Battery seems to last 2-3 hours on my second hand device
More info on this device:

Question to other HD Ranger owners:
My device comes with an acrylic glas on top of the screen. This glass is scratched and slightly loose on the right side, where the glue has come off. I *think* this glass was an optional screen protection. Also, two tiny fragments of glue/dirt have travelled on top of the LCD (I think they are actually on the acrylic glass, but on the inside).
- Am I correct, that this is an optional screen protection?
- I am considering removing this acrylic glas, have it polished and cleaned - how would I glue it back on: what is the recommended type of glue?
- Can such an acrylic glas still be purchased as an option? If so, how much would it cost?
Regards,
Vitor
