They're around US$80 or so. "Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.

Stay away from the Huey and other low-cost calibrators. They simply don't work. Of course they do. That's why they're usually recommended. Besides, the Eye One 2 is nearly $200!

So there are definitely cases in which they don't work. That being said, quite a few people use them and are happy with the result. "I think the idea of art kills creativity" - Douglas Adams

It's not a good idea to save 120$ on a calibration tool, and mess up colors of images shot with equipment costing thousands. I didn't know that at first, and bought a Huey. It produced a nice green tint on my monitor, very close to the green of the Vietnam era Huey helicopters. That's how the Huey calibrator got its name. And its return to where I bought it from. Sounds like you're doing something wrong. My $80 Spyder2Express is spot on. "Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.
