decent wireless digital thermometer suggestions?

I use an older Oregon Scientific unit -- old enough that it has fallen out of the catalog so that says something about the reliability -- paired with a THGR122NX remote temperature/humidity sensor. Works fine all year and is stingy with batteries. Of course, cold in Virginia isn't "cold" in many other places but I'm happy with it.

Surf over to Radio Shack's web site at

and search for keyword thermometer. They have several wireless indoor-outdoor thermometers listed. I have one that I bought from them about 10 years ago, and it's still working. I have to change batteries in the outdoor sensor about every

2-3 years. It has worked in temperatures as low as 8 degrees F.

A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after
that is the beginning of a new argument.

I have a 14 year old Radio Shack indoor/outdoor digital thermometer, but it uses wire to connect to the probe. The wire just goes through the window, it's been working fine all this time.

I have no idea if that sort of thing is still being made, but surely the wire takes out the need for batteries in the remote sensor, and any problems from interference to the radio signal from the sensor. You do have to arrange things so you can put the inside unit near a window, but people have gotten too fussy about what they "need" and thus seek things that may not always be the best solution.

I have LA CROSSE. Stay away from it. It stops reading the remote every once in the while. I have to take the batteries out and put them back in to get it going. This of course loses min/max readings and clock has to reset.

I second this. Radio shack is somehow still king when it comes to great thermometers. If you want something better, it's going to cost hundreds and you're going to have to piece it together from some industrial control catalog, and it will still lack the min/max memory stuff.

Probably too far apart or some stuff (like a furnace) in the way. Try relocating either to get a better connection.

That was the problem I had.

Radio Shack is just a rebrand of someone else. Does anybody know who?

One of my RS units shows up on-line as a reference picture but I cannot find the manual anywhere. Tried wayback machine but no luck. Is there a graveyard for those manuals?

BTW if you get a full blown weather station that will work but ya gotta pay a lot cor one. Google for weather stations.

yes, email radio shack.

no shit- they sent me the full spec sheet on an LED from years ago. They keep all sorts of weird product data forever.
