Hi Lou,

 Unfortunately, calibration of equipment by the manufacturer seems to always
be costly. I also have specific equipment that must be calibrated by the
manufacturer. Short of replacing the equipment with a more generic unit that
can be calibrated by just about anyone, the only thing left to consider is
the frequency of the calibrations. For example, If your records show you
have an item that is calibrated annually and this unit has been found to be
in calibration for the last 5 years, then you might consider changing the
frequency to perhaps once every two years to amortize the cost a bit. Bottom
line is that some calibration costs are extremely expensive and unless you
have alternate viable calibration source, your pretty much stuck with what
they want to charge.

Just my thoughts,

Ed Cosper
