 Wireless doesn't work at 20 feet February 27, 2008

I did some research and this seemed like the devise for me in my office - a nice clock & weather station. The atomic clock doesn't recieve a signal and the outdoor wireless sensor doesn't connect to the device. I have the unit sitting on my window ledge approximately 20 feet (unobstructed view) to the wireless sensor. Besides the window and screen, there is nothing in the way. There is no electronic interference in the area and the device is calibrated (i.e., it will connect when the wireless sensor is in the same room). 100 feet - forget it - not even 20 feet. What's the point of a weather station that can't tell me the weather? Lousy.
 Good product, good price October 20, 2006

I bought the Chaney Wireless Weather Station back in late August. I'll admit, I am very critical about my products, so this one was intensely reviewed. Overall, I think it was well worth the purchase (and the price was reasonable too!). This product tracks temperature and humidity from a remote sensor and the base station, as well as provides arrows that indicate the general trend (temp rising, falling, stabilizing). The clock is readable from a distance and the weather forecaster has been accurate about 90% of the time.
I would give this product 5 stars if not for a few things I have not liked about it. First, it is difficult to read the "Day of Week". Sure, I didn't buy a weather station to find out what day it was, but that feature would be nicer if it was readable from more than 5 feet away. Second, the moon phase icon likes to scroll around through the entire cycle. It remains on the actual phase for about 5 seconds, but it gets really annoying when your glancing at it and it's moving around, leaving you to wait for it to come to a halt again. Lastly, the weather forecaster seems a bit sensitive to barometric pressure changes. I don't know if this is uniform for all weather stations. Like I said earlier, it is right 90% of the time. However, sometimes it will jump from sunny to partly cloudy and then rainy when the Weather Channel says it will be rainy within the next 12 hours for sure. Also, my unit has trouble connecting to the Colorado station -- however, this is my problem, as I am in an apartment where even cell signals struggle getting in.
Overall, this unit was well worth the purchase. I would gladly recommend it to anybody buying a weather station. It is affordable, reliable, and has never given me any grief.
