If you really need a calibrated LPM there are two options... Laserbee and Bluefan... where budget LPMs are concerned. If this is a one time thing, just see who's close to you with an LPM and can test it out. I would do it, but I sent one of my LPMs out today, and sending out the other one tomorrow to a friend, so we can compare calibration.
