Amazon.com Review:
Completely wireless and simple to install, this home weatherstation tracks and stores data about more than 20 weather conditionsand displays them on a touch-screen LCD monitor that measures only 8inches wide by 5-1/2 inches high. The instruction booklet accompanyingthe weather station is easy to comprehend, making the stationaccessible to children, as well as adult hobbyists, gardeners, campers,and fishing enthusiasts. There are three outdoor sensors, each poweredby a solar cell: an anemometer that attaches to a building, fence, orroof to measure wind speed and direction; a thermo-hygrometer tomeasure temperature and humidity; and a self-emptying rain gauge. (Atleast six hours of sunshine are needed to operate the solar cells for24 hours. Each sensor has a backup battery-power unit that requires twoAA batteries--not included.) A 4-1/4-by-2-3/4-inch baro-hygrometermeasures indoor temperature, barometric pressure, and humidity, andmounts on a wall or stands on a desk. (It requires four AAAbatteries--not included.)
The touch-screen monitor keeps track of the indoor and outdoor sensors,and also displays local weather/barometric pressure forecasts.Additionally, it has a calendar/clock, an alarm that sounds whensensors detect conditions beyond parameters set by the user, a memorybutton for retrieving past data, and an AC power adapter. (Its backupbattery-power unit requires four AA batteries--not included.) Thesystem can support three additional remote sensors and can interfacewith a PC. Additional sensors, the PC-link software/cable kit, and along-term data-memory accessory are all sold separately. --FredBrack

- Died after 2 years
I bought this unit about 2 years ago.I had to return the initial unit because it did not work correctly (thanks to Cabellas customer service).The second unit worked well for a while (yes it was a long set-up), but we were happy with it.The rain guage stopped working pretty early on, as did the humidity/weather condition sensor. However, the 2 parts we used most, which were the temperature readings in and out and the anemometer, seemed to work very well until we hit the 2 year mark.Then the ... Read More

- Oregon WMR968 - An Abysmal Pit!
Oregon Scientific WMR968 Cable Free Complete Weather Station
Purchased this unit about 2 years ago to replace 9 year old Davis cabled system.Installed the anemometer and temperature/hygro sensor on a pole 10 feet above my roof ridge, the rain sensor in the yard, about 75 yards from the house and any trees. I also purchased an additional indoor sensor.
Installation instructions were very poor, installation took awhile, but went OK. Initial readings checked well with a local professional ... Read More
Rating: - Don't go wireless
This is a great idea for the home hobbyist weather watcher. Major flaw is the instruction/setup information. No information about how to use this weather station. It sort of tells you how to hook it up but nothing else. It's not an intuitive setup, in fact it's very confusing. The worst documentation I've ever seen and that includes their on-line data. Forget this wireless station - it's hardly ever works. Go for the wired/cable weather station for more reliable information and ease of use.

I returned this item as advised by the company's technical service person.Assembly required removing and reinstalling dozens of tiny screws for which no ordinary screwdriver was available.

- A good weather station
I bought the OS WMR968 system 2 years ago, and have been very happy with it's performance and reliability.Installation was easy, and it worked fine right out of the box. All the sensors are made of plastic parts, so don't expect the highest quality, but they work...and work well for the money. With the right software, you can upload your data to the Weatherunderground, and other public weather data systems.
There are some odds and ends that folks need to be aware of about this system, ... Read More
