Just purchased this sensor assuming it would work with my existing Oregon Scientific Base station and another one I just ordered.

Unfortunately this particular sensor (also sensors THR138 and THN138) only work with older base stations running the "1.0" protocol (newer units run "2.1"). Here is the list of base stations listed at the Oregon Scientific site that support this older sensor:

BA928 BAR338PA BAR888NA EMR812 JMR828 JMR838WF JTR168LR RMR112

So only order this sensor product if you have one of the above product numbers listed on your base station (unless you just want to use this as a standalone temperature sensor)

The Oregon Scientific web site has a complete list in a PDF file as far as which sensors are supported by the various base base stations, so if you aren't sure, check out their site before ordering an additional sensor for your base station.

This probe does NOT work with the Oregon Scientific BAR898HGA Wireless Weather Station. You have to buy the THC268.

Uses 4 batteries. 2 in indoor thermometer, 2 in outdoor thermometer. Will not work in cold weather

This unit is accurate, has adequate cable length, and is a great value. Oregon Scientific needs to expand its receiver compatibility, but its still a great buy.

Needed to replace an older unit that stopped working(Radio Shack). This unit looked similar so I bought it hoping it would work with the base station, it did and for the price I paid, a really good buy. Bought two so I would have a spare.

We are useing the Oregon Cable Free Remote Sensor with Waterproof Probe to monitor the refrigerator temp for our food bank.

I was mislead by the product description, as I thought I was buying a complete remote thermometer system. This unit does not include the receiver, so you have to buy a different device, such as Oregon Scientific EMR812, EMR899, RMR112 or BAR888 ($50 or higher).
The unit does have a local display in the sensor, so you can still use it as a CABLED thermometer.
