Amazon.com Review
A great gadget for a boating or backpacking trip, this battery-powered wireless weather station displays all the pertinent information you’ll need and is about the size of a remote control. The adjustable contrast LCD is divided into five areas of information. At the very top of the screen, the time, date, calendar, and time zone (for the four U.S. time zones only) are displayed. A built-in antenna system receives signals from the WWVB radio transmitter in Fort Collins, Colorado, which is in turn is regulated by the atomic clock, to provide precise timekeeping. Once you install the battery, you can set the clock to one of twenty-five time zones, including all U.S. times zones and Greenwich Mean Time, and the device will automatically set to the accurate time. For practical purposes, the clock also has an alarm with an adjustable snooze time.
The screen also shows the local sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and moonset times, along with the current moon phase. The sun/moon features work for 45 U.S. settings and even allow you to check the statistics for other cities from your present location. An icon towards the bottom shows weather and air pressure trends. The remainder of the display is devoted to showiing indoor relative humidity and temperature in either Fahrenheit or Celsius for an indoor location and an outdoor area using the included remote sensor. The weather station also records the minimum and maximum temperatures within a 24-hour period and recalls them at your prompting. The sun/moon wireless weather station requires two AA batteries for the receiver and another two for the remote and a low-battery indicator on the receiver lets you know when they need replacing. --Cristina Vaamonde

La Crosse WS-9016U Wireless Weather Station w/Atomic Clock,
By ep1curus (Atlanta, Georgia United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: La Crosse Technology WS-9016U Sun/Moon Wireless Weather Station (Kitchen)
Just purchased the La Crosse WS-9016U Atomic Weather Forecaster and this review is based on less than 2 days of ownership. You should read the manual on how this thing works because if you expect instantaneous results the moment you stick in batteries you will be disappointed. You should give this gizmo at least 24 hours to settle in. You don't even have to set the time or day, leave it alone and it will do it by itself. Just apply your settings such as city, weather forecasting sensitivity, LCD contrast for readability and how you like to read the temperature in C or F then let it be for 24 hours and it will take care of the rest. Pros: Housing colour nice and muted. Set it and forget it. Weather forecasting (Haven't had this long enough to know if it can do better than a meteorologist). Cons: Cheesy and stiff button settings behind the cover. No day of week or 4 digit year displayed. There should be a button to have the LCD backlit. Contrast display works but don't stick this near a window where it will be bright.

A little quirky, but it works fine,

This review is from: La Crosse Technology WS-9016U Sun/Moon Wireless Weather Station (Kitchen)
It took some fiddling to get it set up and you actually have to read the manual. It was easy enough once you got the hang of it, though. It took about 15-20 minutes to get things going.At first the remote temperature sensor didn't work, but removing and reinserting the batteries in both the remote and the base station did the trick (as the manual suggested). This was a Christmas present for my dad. Even though the weather was clear on Christmas, the unit predicted rain (as did the local meterologists). It took a couple of days, but rain it did. Yesterday (Dec. 27) we got a good soaking. Pretty cool. By the way, we put the remote sensor in the freezer and it read 31 degrees, so it seems to be at least generally accurate.

Accurate and easy setup,

This review is from: La Crosse Technology WS-9016U Sun/Moon Wireless Weather Station (Kitchen)
Before purchasing the WS-9016U I read the reviews.The best advice is to read tha manual! Follow the setup instructions. Give it time for the Atomic clock to hit. I left mine overnight and the next day it was spot on. Has accurate in temperature indoor and out as well as time for over a month of service. Don't be impatient! I had this setup in less than six minutes....AFTER reading the manual. I recommend it.
