   In general I am getting *repeatibility* now to a lot less than that, and   
   it has been known, (pointed out of the window) to detect large objects   
   at many many metres.   
      
   It is certainly more than good enough for measuring from 0-1.5 metres or   
   so. to a sorta 10% accuracy.
