    This one allows two meat probes which I like.

    The add says the probes are 3 feet long while the replacements are 6 feet. I prefer 6 feet.

    Also the transmitter still has a screw for the battery compartment, which is annoying. But it does look like an improvement on the the et-732.

    did they make changes to the probes at all, thats usually what gives up on these things.  I don't use mine much anymore but the last time I did it was acting pretty screwy (big temp jumps up and down).  I like the idea but I try to keep things as simple as possible.

    My first question as well. They should have dumped money into upgrading the probes. I don't see myself using the USDA suggested pre-sets.

    If they didn't change the probes, it doesn't matter what they upgraded. Both of mine have pooped and I've just been flying commando

    Useless. The presets are for zombies. As noted above, if the probe quality is not improved, it is just another useless toy. My 8060 is a tank, pity I have to use the baby monitor to make it wireless.
