It depends what sort of accuracy you are after but my understanding is the correction tables are meter specific

Cheers Bob,
That is why I mentioned Timberspec moisture meter that is the brand made in Australia it is an old model probably 20 years old. It states on the meter that it is calibrated to Douglas fir.

What are The chances of the Timberspec being related to the Timbermaster?

Good find BobL! Some heavy reading there but at least someone may now be able to make some sense of the readings they might get from a $9.95 moisture meter that they got from "The Big Green Shed"!
