 nice featureS - lousy radio communications |

This unit has some nice features like being able to calibrate the barometric pressure so it reads fairly accurately BUT the unit constantly auto programs to phantom remote sensors and them displays no readings! The 1 remote sensor that I do have only shows readingS perhaps 1/2 of the time. Accurite tech support said it's my problem because I have too many electronic devices in my home that are interfering with their sensors.... I purchased an Ohio Scientific for my Dad 2 years ago and it is flawless. DO NOT BUY AN ACCURITE PRODUCT.

 Nice Idea, lousy programming so so product |

Where do I start. What seems to work. The clock, calendar, day of the week, moon phases, pressure trend, indoor outdoor temps and humidities. I have had two other "atomic clocks" in this exact same spot and they didn't have any trouble getting the sync signal from Colorado. This clock maybe once a week which is prob ok. The programming and design is a mess. The Forcast (never right), pressure trends and moon phases are scrolling icons. For instance to get the forcast first one cloud, then another cloud, the moon or sun, and third cloud then the forth is displayed. Then it blanks out and starts again. The moon phases, the clock scrolls thru all the possible phases, and the one where it sticks for a longer time then the others is the phase for the night. The pressure trend which like the others could just be a non-scrolling set of icons, scrolls back and forth. So you need more then a passing glance to figure out what the clock is telling you. Saving the programming time for all the scrollng would have allowed for an inside temp and humidity trend. Then the day of the week. Instead of a multi segmented icon for like MON, TUE and so on it displays in very small print each day of the week, which on this clock starts on Monday. Which ever day has a rectangle around it is the current day of the week. The barometer, is always anywhere from .10 to .30 mb's off from the airport which is two miles away. The trend scroll does seem to indicate the trend, but the actual pressure reading is not good. I have had this clock since the first week in August. The forcast has always showed parly cloudy skys, but it has been the rare cloud that has been seen in the sky. Which is ok I can forcast with the pressure trend. Frankly a picture of Milla Jovovich raking leaves in her yard would be of more use then the forcast. So if time, date, day of the week and phases of the moon, temp and humidity is what you want and dont mind waiting for the scolling icons to tell the story then this clock is for you. On the good side, the inside and outside temps are more accurate then the two other weather station "Atomic" clocks I have had. And since you have to look at the clock for so long to get the icon status the fact that it displays the hour, minute and seconds is kinda nice.

I've had this weather station for about a year now. I've found that the weather forecast is as accurate as the manufacture says. 75%. Setup is not too difficult. You do have to go on the Internet to find out what the current pressure is for your area, but that's not too difficult. The unit could be a little smaller for its screen. I think its a little wasted space. I also have a problem with the radio clock. Even when I turn the feature off, it still sets the time. This wouldn't be too bad except that it sets it for the wrong time zone. I have the instruction book and there is nothing about setting the time zone. The moon clock is also accurate.
