1) If the last reviewer had managed to look up the specs, he/she would read that the temp accuracy is +/-2 degrees f or +/-1 degree c. Resolution is NOT accuracy; it is only the capablilty of the unit to display the temp in .2 degree intervals w/ the stated accuracy. Oh brother!!!

2) Of course, the the higher (reasonably speaking) you place the anemometer, the better the reading will be, geesh! This is true for ANY weather station. Also, the readings are not real time, since this is a WIRELESS station. I believe data is updated every 30s for the anemometer. Therefore, the 30mph wind gust you see on the console is from 30 seconds ago.

This is actually a very good weather station, and pretty accurate as well. It is easy to set up, as it is completely wireless, and solar powered w/ battery backup. Happy forcasting!

this weather station is fine, and it is very sophisticated, but what about its usefulness?: the sensors ranges are very very short, and not what we can wait from a "pro" weather station. I live in a country land without any interference but the simple stones of my house's walls are sufficient to stop the signal. Very deceiptive item.

Come on people, cut me a break. The anometer is supposed to be way up high not down low.
This is a great little unit.

Since I live in hurricane prone FL, I thought this would be ideal for us, and bought it primarly for the anometer. Although it mostly works, and the touch screen is really cool, we get inaccurate wind readings.
My husband had to raise it from 15 to 30 feet off the ground to get more accurate readings. All I know is that I know the difference between a 15 mph and 30 mph gust, and without raising it very high, you will not get the precise reading you are looking for.
If you are buying this for the wind speed anometer, you need to get it as high as you can, otherwise, it's worthless.

Roll the dice... these are highly INACCURATE! La Crosse Technology company plays the following game: They claim the device has "0.2 degree RESOLUTION" but then the base station and the remotes have an documented-and-unbelievably POOR accuracy tolerance of "1.8 degrees" -- an inaccuracy a whopping 9-times the ".2 degree RESOLUTION". IMAGINE paying good money for a digital THERMOMETER that is off by some 2 degrees for each remote! Two different remotes could be off by some 4-degrees To test: before installing, put them both (the base-station (for measuring INSIDE temperature) and the remote probe (for measuring OUTSIDE temperature)) in the same room for a couple hours and you will become disingenuinely disappointed at how far apart the temperature accuracy/readings are! The company will NOT do anything to correct this and will only loud that "accuracy" is NOT "resolution"!

If you want an expensive TOY, this might be for you... If you want an accurate thermometer, you'll do better dropping a couple dollars at a 5 and 10 cent store!
