I was sold on the s.a.m.e. and weather resistant features. I am experienced in technical electronics and could not understand the fragmented directions.

The only problem I noticed is that the temperature and humidity "trend" indicators are reversed.

Then, the unit completely quit reading the wind speed. The Oregon Scientific customer support is an absolute joke. As poor as this product is, I'm shocked they sell anything.

They just don't seem to be able to make a product with any quality in my opinion. Quality control seems to mean none will get out of the factory.
