4 out of 5 stars Good Feature Balance.......2007-08-19

This model has enough features to meet the needs of my 80+ year old mother-in-law and still be easy to use. The display is easy to see, even from a distance, and the content is logically arranged to quickly glance and catch the info you want.

The only gripes are that (1) the setup instructions could be more explicit and clear on the exact button sequences and (2) the printed text next to the buttons on the back are near impossible to read becasue they used light colored text against the silver paint.

Other than those issues, the unit is working fine and picks up the radio signal here in NY state to set the clock. Keep in mind, especially if you live far from the broadcast station in Boulder, CO, that the radio signal strength is increased daily for a short while in the middle of the night so you may have to wait until then to catch the signal and update your clock.

4 out of 5 stars Shrinks by nearly half.......2007-07-17

See where the product features say this Measures "10 by 9 1/2 by 3 ½ inches (l x w x h," and in the Product Details, the Product Dimensions are: "5.1 x 4.4 x 2.1 inches ; 2 pounds?"

They might have shipped the 10 inch clock, but I got the 5.1 inch version by the time it arrived. It works great, though. And I learned that "Features" aren't "Details" and to read more carefully.

Still, it's a good clock, sychronizes perfectly, and its temperature readings are accurate.

3 out of 5 stars Good product, yet over-advertised.......2007-01-16

It's a good product,does exactly as I hoped it would.

Kinda hard to mount it by itself on a wall, like I had planned to do in the bathroom above the toilet. Also it was EXTREMELY smaller than what I was led to beleive by the advertisements and pictures of the product.

But in teh end the product performs pretty well and is great for referencing, which is exactly what I use it for. Especially when none of my clocks are in-synch.

5 out of 5 stars A terrific product.......2007-01-04

We love this device! It is the perfect thing for the bathroom counter to give you the outdoor conditions. Good price, easy to use and set up.

5 out of 5 stars Easy.......2007-09-30

We purchases the base which comes with satellite monitor. We have the base inside, the other monitor outside and bought a second for our wine cellar. It was easy to set up and use. It is accurate and we haven't had any problems after a year.

5 out of 5 stars Oregon Scientific BAR898HGA.......2007-08-23

This is a swseet system for monitoring the temperatures in 4 locations. I have the base unit in the study, one outside, one in the basement and one in the attic. The basement unit I use to monitor the humidity, as we have a lot of stuff stored there, and I want to be sure the dehumidifyer is set at the proper level. The attic unit I use to monitor the heat buildup in the summer to determine if I need to put in other cooling devices. The outdoor unit and the study unit have the obvious benefits. The system also maintains a perfect time that is set by the US satellite sytem, and so I adjust all other clocks and watches in the house to match this standard. I also view the base unit from time to time to see what the weather forecast is, but that is not its main use.

1 out of 5 stars Nice, but...........2007-06-22

it only worked for about a month than started losing signal, beeping, display goes wacky. Replaced the batteries, reset the probes, did all the things you are supposed to do, but it kept going berserk. Returned to OSI for a replacement and the same thing happens. Can't recommend until they fix the problem. Suspect it is some cheap memory or poor circuits. Either way it is a BIG problem.

It does look good however, and when it works, it was great.

3 out of 5 stars Connection to remote unit fails.......2007-02-23

I'm one of those people who can't get a reliable signal between the remote and the base. It's worked for as long as an hour and then the signal suddenly disappears and the base stops displaying the outside temp. I've reset everything, changed the batteries, tried every channel, moved the units close, moved everything away from other possible radio sources, and nothing. I'm buying a replacement THGR268 to try, but this is a brand new device so I shouldn't be going through this.

5 out of 5 stars great weather station!.......2007-02-14

I love this weather station! We really needed the ability to determine humidity in the house because we live in the mid-Atlantic where the summer gets hot & steamy. In order to avoid mold problems, we need to monitor humidity. I love that this unit allows me to have three remote sensors. I can track the temp & humidity in 4 total locations. We have one sensor outdoors, one in the attic and there is the central unit in the living room. I can still add one more sensor in the future. I have found this unit to be very accurate in reading temperature, humidity & the atomic clock is always correct. It was simple to set up as well. I am not very technical (hubby is in charge of setting up all gadgets like this plus tv, vcr, dvd, etc.) and I had no problems at all setting this unit up. Instructions are very user friendly. For the price, this is a great unit and I recommend it without hesitation.
