Being an inveterate collector of AWS's i.e currently four on the go,I am
somewhat distressed to find all four are not picking up the outside
temperature.
Two are Oregon make and the other two cheapies from Lydl .
The problem began about a week ago so all batteries were checked and the
transmission lights were active ,but once putting them back into the
original sitings ,the outside reading dropped out ,all other functions
are working well.
To add to the mystery my long range rain recorder is also dropping out at
times ,i.e several hours at a time,but when functioning the readings come
up correctly.
To finish this saga ,my next door neighbour (who I persuaded to buy an
Oregon small aws ) is now having the same problem !
Any ideas guys ?,aliens , a new force field,retribution from Desperate
Dan...

PS Funnily ,my Watson W.8681 is working perfectly (so far) and that's a
remote radio device.


Yes Ron my Fydl's weather station lasted about two months until the
temperature display stopped displaying.

I reckon its a flat battery in the sender/sensor as the receiver still
works. Can't be bothered in the summer though.
-----------------------
AS Ron says - rain gauge definitely working on Watson, showing this current
instability with a downpour at 21.05 giving 5.1mm in not long.
