I like the 3.125″ format. Plus there are no hidden costs of probes you have to buy later…

Electronics International’s A-1 instrument provides pilots with the precision and stability needed in order to accurately monitor Outside Air Temperature or Carburetor Temperature while in-flight.
Not only will Electronics International’s A-1 display Outside Air Temp with a stable, one-degree (Fahrenheit) resolution, it also comes complete with an “Ice Zone” light that alerts the pilot when the Outside Air Temperature could possibly contribute to ice forming in the aircraft carburetor.
A Monitor is only as good as its probes. That’s why Electronics International (EI) has taken the development of its probes, connectors, and accessories very seriously. EI has been designing and manufacturing probes for over 30 years. All of our probes have been designed in-house by our engineering team. Our team has studied, tested, and designed temperature probes since the 1970′s. They have written research documents such as The Pilots Manual – Leaning and Diagnosing Engine Problems and Accurate CHT Measurements. Just as a Monitor is only as good as its probes, a probe is only as good as its connector. That’s why EI’s engineering team developed EI’s proprietary OLC-1 connector. The OLC-1 connector greatly increases reliability and reduces installation errors as compared to traditional type connectors. Whether you’re looking for a reliable and accurate CHT, EGT, TIT, or various other probe types, EI has what you need. With more than a half million probes sold and tested you can count on EI’s reliability.

Keep it up. I’ll keep coming back.
Easiest company to deal with and an awesome product! Price, Certified for Primary, and Features.
Great… price [&] support
Beautiful graphic display, easy to use, perfect automatic dimming!
Great service. [I replaced/upgraded] unit in aircraft.
EI’s products are the only ones we recommend to our customers.
My mechanic said that your product was very good, and he was correct.
Always very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Over time, I have purchased six different EI instruments for the two planes I own. The instruments are easy to install, very accurate, and dependable. EI has very stable and easy-to-operate instruments.
[EI’s FP-5L with Aux Carb Temp Option] gave me fuel flow & Carby temp & was easy to retrofit.
Every person was willing to help me when I needed and the whole purchasing process was smooth. [And, E.I.] was recommended by my mechanic.
While the installation is not quite done yet, I have seen the unit in my aircraft with the engine running and the monitor producing numbers. It looks very good and I cannot wait to go flying with it!
