Second bonus scored on weather Station

[Reno]

Well I hooked up my thermor weather station before christmas and immediately noticed the wind chill value at times was rediculously low (-30C when temp was 0C).

So looking into the package there was a notice that such a problem might exist and to call tech support. After calling I was told a new unit would be sent out and today the new one arrived but never was I asked for the original one. I think that is why they were priced as they were. So now I have 2 receivers one by the computer and the other in the kitchen but first I have to find an adequate power supply. Anyone else get their second reciever(how about you pickster).

are these the radioshack ones that were on sale?

Not sure if Radio Shack sold them but I know Home Depot and Walmart had them.

Glad you posted this, Ive been trying to find this item at Home Depot, Walmart, and Radio Shack, and noone knows what Im talking about. Could you give me some kind of part Number, or a name for it that they could understand. Thanks in advance

I was looking for one of these before Christmas.

They didn't carry them at Home Depot here, nor Radio Shack.

Then I was informed that Canadian Radio Shack is no longer related to American Radio Shack, I think the salesman said they are owned by Circut City.

Anywho, I stumbled across a weather station at Zellers the other day for $99 CDN seemed a little steep and I had already spent my tool/toy budget money for the week.

Hello harrie

It has no part number or model number the box read Thermor Home weather station.

they are out of Markham Ont. Hopethis helps. Try searching the web for the above you should find something.

Could someone suggest placement of a jack in the transmitter of the Weather Station, to allow using an AC adaptor. I presume a 3v adaptor would be OK. I took the transmitter case apart, and cannot see an really suitable place for a power jack. Perhaps within the battery space , poking out the end? I have power in the garden shack the unit is mounted on, and I cannot put up with battery replacement!

I called Jenifer in customer service at Thermor this morning to replace a defective wind sensor (only goes up to 30-35 KLMs) and she said I need to take it down, pack it and ship it back. Only bought it 9 nmonths ago. Just the taking down and shipping will be costly. Not happy with the service although you said that they simply send out a new one. I'd even pay the shiping. Even if my sensor was still good i could not hook up another one. I certainly would not purchase again if this is the way they request "known" defective product that is a known problem to be returned!!
