The first one I got was a 73. The only thing I didn't like was that you had to open the battery compartment on one of the units to turn it on and off. The range is good for the price. I never had a problem with it. but I never was more than 50ft away either. Mine finally went out and started to read 12f higher on the food side so I got the new 732. I will occasionally  use the 73 along with the 732 and just subtract 12 from the temp. It's internal and not a bad probe.

there is a mod you can do to the 73's that improves the range tremendously. It is a simple mod of soldering a wire. (I never soldered anything in my life not even sure I am spelling it right-- and I did it with no problem. My probes finally gave out so I bought the 732. The range on the modified 73 was slightly better than what I get on the 732. But I still like the 732 - signals when signal lost, don't have to open the compartment. But if budget is an issue, aside from these 2 issues, the moded 73 worked pretty good.

I've used a 73 for about 4 years,and except for the limited range,it's worked just fine.

If budget isn't an issue jump to the ET-732 which is the upgraded model of the ET-73.  They solved some of the pesky little issues that the 73 had.  Power switches on both the transmitter and receiver is on the outside.  The range has been increased and it is pretty much water proof.
