Hello,

I'm sorry - the scales cannot be changed by the customer. The hardware of
the R2M has been designed about 15 years ago and the processor used in the
R2M is not very powerful and no longer available in the meantime. Currently
the R2M is running out and we have about 50 units left (sale while stocks
last). But we are working on a redesign of the R2M with a new processor.
Maybe the redesigned version will have additional features but I cannot
promise anything. In the first place we try to find a solution for a new
hardware (mainly a new processor) to be able to continue the product.

Best wishes
Dieter Doepfer
