Strange I assumed they didn’t, as I’ve never had mine shut off before I’ve transferred and weighed a fish.

Wished I had not sold my RH 60lb old style scales as well. It is a fiddle with the digital RH Paring up etc. etc. I still have a 120lb old style RH set and might revert back to those !!!. It was not the best idea I ever had changing over that's for certain.

I swapped to some Reuben digital scales and soon changed back to manuals. I just couldn't get on with them and zeroing the sling etc was a nightmare. I will never use digital scales again - much prefer to see the dial swing round and be certain of the exact weight.

Agreed, they are naff.

How they ever got signed off as being useable, is beyond me.

I've been using the RH 9000 digital scales for about fifteen years and find them extremely easy to use.
Once I have tared the sling I hang the scales, by their hook, on my brolly or edge of the cradle. They are then registering their own weight and so don't time out and switch off.
On the subject using luggage scales it's worth noting that some of them don't weigh pounds and ounces correctly, but use a decimal version i.e.10.9 pounds and then going to 11 pounds.
I tested a members set against my RH scales and his weren't registering the correct weight, except on exact pounds.

I asked fox about this once and I'm sure they said the shut off is around 9 mins so that's plenty of time to do what we need.
