They have a manual calibration process that can keep the accuracy to 0.1° For $350, you can get the Pro-3600 which will give you 0.01° resolution!

Another handy feature is the "Hold". You can sight along the top of the level at the tree line (or near by buildings) and press the "Hold" button to give you a readout out the elevation angle. I live in a clearing in the woods and its handy for figuring out where to locate a dish to clear the trees. :-)

I believe Sears carries this same level as:
Macklanburg-Duncan Electronic Digital Protractor

Sears item #00940195000 Mfr. model #09424516
THANKS! I have GOT to get me one of those things. Last time I checked up on those things, they weren't nearly that accurate. Too bad I didn't have these links a month ago. But the next time my wife buys something, I think one of these gadgets will be headed this way too.
Thanks.
