    I bought this one from Amazon after Christmas. It works really good for me. It has a lot of good reviews!!! If you read the few not so good reviews, I would agree with some of them. 1)Not rugged enough for daily use, and 2) the cord could be a little longer.

    Amazon.com: Actron CP9410 PocketScan Plus Diagnostic Code Reader for OBDII Vehicles: Automotive

    It was $45 w/free shipping after Christmas, and Advance had it for $75 or so if I remember correctly.

    I would recomend this scanner for anyone looking for a basic unit.

    LS1m is free to download, you just need to buy a palm that it will work with. i loved mine. the hard part is finding a cable to buy since i have no clue who makes them anymore.

    ScangaugeII Is supposed to do KR, but it doesn't have a decimal place. It also pulls codes as well, and i just bought mine for 159 off of ebay

    so does that measure KR? and when you say "you just need to buy a palm that it will work with" what does that mean?

    I vote for ScangaugeII. and yes it monitors KR. Monitors up to 4 things at once as opposed to only 2 like the Aeroforce... And it's cheaper

    It also has a refresh rate that rivals dial-up internet.
