Thanks Ur. I think it might be .2 off, but I'm still working on that. There is a temp calibration setting, but still confusing. Go up on temp calibration, temp goes down. Figuring this out piece by piece...

Yep. I ended up calling IW and they explained to me that the temp calibration is totally backwards from logical reasoning. Up is down, and down is up. If you want to raise the temp, lower the calibration setting the amount you want it to go up. All it's doing is recalibrating the thermometer to a different temp. Sounds like you've got it figured out, but just a word of caution... only change it by .1F and let it run awhile to see how much it changes. I tried .4, then .3, and eventually realized that .2 made a big difference in temp changes. 0.1F changes should solve your temp issue.

I know. I've been sitting here adjusting by .1 every ten minutes. Digital thermometer is .2 off, read 32.2 in ice water. Reads 99.5 right now in incubator, so I'm going to adjust incubator up .1
 
Okie dokie, folks... I must head off to bed. Busy day tomorrow, so I need my beauty sleep. It hasn't taken effect yet, but I keep hoping. Everyone have a great night, and I'll try to catch back up in the am. Goodnight!!!

.1 should get you very close. It may take .2, but only trying it will tell. It's okay if it runs a tiny bit higher. You just don't want to be lower than 99.5F, or higher than 100F. Anything in between is fine. I'll check back in the morning and see if you've posted an update. Good night Roxy.
