There seems to be some misconceptions about terminology when it comes to digital/electronic scales. The weights supplied with a digital scale are not check weights, they are calibration weights. The load cell needs a set weight to set the parameters for measuring other weights. It's built into the circuitry in the scale. Loose that calibration weight, your scale is worthless. Unless you can re-program the circuitry to accept a new weight as a reference.

No misconception, as far as I'm concerned. The Powder Pro uses "check" weights for calibrating. One of the Powder Pro check weights just happens to be exactly the same weight as the Frankford Arsenal check weight, with which one calibrates the Frankford Arsenal digital scale. One doesn't have to do any reprograming, if one loses the check weight that came with the Frankford Arsenal scale. All one has to do is acquire another check weight of the same weight. (20grams.)
