Is this made in the USA?

In the battery compartment of my Fluke 62 MAX+, it states that the unit was made in China in June 2012. Hope this helps.

Does this unit adjust for emissivity?

According to the manufacture's website the Max Plus can be manually adjusted for emissivity in a range from 0.1 to 1.00

i cant decide on this or the 62 max - any words of wisdom?

Fluke's web site shows that the Max+ is better in every respect except battery life with laser and backlight on (10 vs. 8 hours) but Amazon inverted the prices today so there's no trade-off to make:Top-end: 500 versus 650 °CAccuracy above 0 °C: greater of ±1.5 °C or ±1.5% versus greater of ±1.0 °C or ±1.0%Response Time: <500 ms versus <300 msOptical Resolution: 10:1 versus 12:1Repeatability: greater of ±0.8% of reading or <±1.0 °C (2 °F) versus greater of ±0.5% of reading or <±0.5 °C (1 °F)For my uses measuring attic temperatures, fry pans, fuse boxes, computer chips, hard drives and compact florescent bulb ballasts that seem to get hot before failing, either model would be fine. I hope that getting a Fluke means that this will tolerate static electricity and drops better and maintain accuracy as the battery wears down or the sensor ages so the specs actually mean something.

I have figured how to set most everything but does anyone know what "tr i9" refers to for item #7 in the manual? Fluke is not much on words.

This is the most confusing part of the manual (since its all pictograms w/o any text describing it). What the trig setting (on or off) does: If set to "on" then the unit will, if the trigger is held in for 10+ minutes, shut off after 10 minutes. No effect on normal usage. The normal operation is press trigger, let go, read the display... 5-6 seconds later the unit shuts off. But if you toss it in your tool bag, pocket, etc and happen to depress the trigger and it stays that way, it will shut off after 10 minutes - to save battery life. I'd have like to seen a configurable time, or a smaller time - 10 minutes seems excessive. Anything over a minute seems excessive to me.
