so that range could be set to wherever I was working... maybe a

base.

has anyone tried this or is there a problem with the idea I can't see
yet?

No, I wasn't kidding. I just never heard of a "digital scale unit."
Thanks for the pointer, do they go by any other names that I can search
for?

That's the problem with most things when you get into them. How do you
find what you want if you don't know what their called? Or don't know they
exist.
