Review: Reed R8080 is a great tool. - 4/13/2019. Had a significant issue with a neighbor who was creating a neighborhood disturbance to all the neighbors within 500 feet in a residential area. This tool provided metrics useful to convince local city authorities to take action and resolve the issues. Worth the cost. I did extensive research for a reliable unit that can record readings and of the two on the market under $800, this was the best. Very pleased with the performance and ease of operation. Comes with a hard case but I also bought the soft carry case and the calibrator device. Without the calibrator you have no evidence to convince authorities that the readings are reliable and they will not accept them.
