The all weather tool [Posted on 2007-07-02]
This is the first complete weather station that offers the s.a.m.e noaa weather radio reports. This feature sounds fine and works once you set it up, but has some design flaws. You can not make the alarm part of the radio any softer although you can turn the alarm and voice off entirely if you wish to. However, they included a volume for the voice. The problem is that even the voice being set to the lowest level in my case is still too loud. The alarm also goes off whether you set it to voice mode or not so you either have to turn it off or keep them both on.
As far as th weather station goes it gives all the features of other weather stations minus the UV light. One other note is that they removed the remote that the previous version had and I am not sure what made them do this as all the buttons are in the back of the base unit so the remote would have made it easier to operate all the functions the weather station has to offer.
It took an hour or so to mount the outdoor instruments and they immeadiatly started communicating with the base unit and all seem accurate enough. I am however still wondering about the built in barometer as I have seen the barometer change too rapidly so I am not sure if this flaw exists in all the base units. Honeywell said that they are shipping another base unit so I will have to see if the same problem exists.
There are some other features like a sensor light that works well and the included simplistic software package for a USB connection to a computer so you can monitor the weather records.
It is still nice to see that the main selling point of this weather station being the weather radio in this case works if you can live with its flaws. Honeywell would have the perfect weather tool if they would redesign some things and fix other things with the weather station.
not what expected [Posted on 2008-02-06]
sorry to report that this product needs help...the buttons on the back are very inconvenient because they do not allow you to see the information on the front as you meander trying to reach the correct program...one mistake and you start all over and there are times you are attempting to receive information and before you realize it you have touched a button that has put you into a different setting. also the anometer range is only 100 feet at best while the site states 300 feet...regretfully it was returned...amazon is really great in this respect.
Great Product [Posted on 2008-11-10]
I have tried a couple weather stations but not one with the Public Alert option. I would consider the weather station functions to superior to what I had tried from Oregon Scientific and was very pleased. The time set automatically and worked as expected. I was very impressed with the sun and moon clock functions. I would recommend to someone in the market for this type of item.
