Thank you, and that is exactly what I'm saying.
There is nothing there, so it gets no reading or an error (-5.8).
We don't just place our probe in one spot, we place it in several spots to find out what is going on.
It is easier to perform this test with the old Delmhorst scale meter. Ebay has them. I'll be buying two of them while they are still there to get.

It is not capable of detecting anything in the negative range.

So it states that in the instructions Jerry? Hmmmm
I am not familiar with that meter but I heard it does not read below 4 or is it 6, like my Tramex. Tramex will read zero if its below 6.

Tis true, which begs the question why an inspector would record an invalid reading as a baseline of all things ....

Jerry,
Maybe read all the posts from the beginning, you may understand.
Remember: on this test we are not looking for moisture, we are searching for contaminants that are conductive.

four or five years ago we were seeing Circles in the carpet. they were circles that repeated down the lenght of the pane. The circles were non-yellow surrounded by yellowing.
They looked like crop circles.
We saw one side of the panel with these crop circles and on some jobs, crop circles on both sides. It was like having two 6' widths with each 6' width having these crop circles.
This turned out to be excessive topical (either soil or stain resist) treatment that cleaned out, but I never learned why we saw that pattern.
I don't know if anybody has seen this lately, but I have not seen this situation for a few years now.
