Pulled the trigger on a Hanna Halo PH meter today!

I had to order more cut and tied beef middles, and more beef bungs so I went to the Craft Butchers Pantry website. The site is back up now after Evans move to Chicago.
He had the Hanna Halo PH meter on the website, so I went ahead and ordered one.
I also bought bottles of both calibration solutions (7.01 and 4.01), the bottle of storage solution, and the bottle of meat and grease cleaner.
The meter + the bottles of solution came to the same price as I was going to spend on a used Hanna 99163 meter on ebay. So I figured I would get the newly mfg'd meter and go that route instead.
This should give me a much more accurate PH reading than the strips I have been using!
I also like the fact that you can leave the probe in the fermenting chamber, stuck in the meat, and have it log the PH drop over 48 hours, etc.
The meter requires a plastic bag to be taped over the top of it (it's not moisture proof), but that's no big deal.
I will post a user's review once I get a chance to play with it when I run my next batch of salumi.
Anyone have this meter already, and are there any tricks to using it?
