Amazon.com Review:
Many modern homes have up-to-date clocks or mini weather stations that depend on radio-transmitted data to stay calibrated and current. The La Crosse TX3U works outdoors by sensing temperature and transmitting that information to an indoor station. It can transmit to a base up to 80 feet away. The LCD display shows a Fahrenheit temperature reading, updated every minute. The TX3U can be added to augment information coming to La Crosse units already in operation. Remove batteries from base units very first and activate sensors; then replace batteries in base units and press no buttons until a display appears. Multiple sensors can be assigned a number so that it will be clear which information from which sensor is displayed.
The TX3U operates on two AA batteries. Its housing is made of durable, neutral-tone plastic. The sensor works with all La Crosse weather clocks and stations except the Professional Weather Center Series: WS-2010, WS-2210, WS-2310, WS-2315 and WS-2510. For options in wall mounting, three screws and screw anchors and a strong adhesive tape are included. The TX3U measures 3-1/4 by 2-1/2 by 1 inch. La Crosse provides a one-year limited warranty on its sensors. Each sensor comes with a detailed instruction sheet. --Garland Withers

An excellent product that sends temperature information to the master display and also shows temperature on the remote. Batteries last much longer than cheapie systems available at discount stores. Highly recommended.
Ordering and delivery were excellent, with sensor arriving ahead of promised date. Great value at fair price delivered promptly.

I bought three of these sensors to replace one that fell and broke a few months ago. Here's the bottom line - the sensors are not so great for outdoor temperature readings, but do much better indoors away from sunlight and larger temperature swings. There are days when my sensor outside is off from the real temperature by 5-10 degrees. Summer and winter have equally wild swings. It's ridiculous that the temperature is measured in increments of 0.1 degrees when it's never really that close to the actual temperature anyway.
I use one sensor outside and two inside (one upstairs and one in the basement). The inside sensors seem to get within 1-3 degrees of the actual temperature. I do see an appropriate difference between the warmer upstairs area and the cooler basement.
Finally, the visible window when for a temperature reading is pretty handy. I really like the easy acess to a temperature reading without having to be in the room where the base unit is located. I find this more useful inside than outside, since my outside unit is mounted up higher underneath an eve.
I couldn't find anything much better than this, so I bought it and am getting by. The product design is pretty ugly... a boxy off-white block with boring font.

This is a decent sensor and I like the display on it. However, the display works only in Fahrenheit (no Celsius option). Also, the range does not seem to be as good as my TX6U unit. (I'm guessing the power had to be reduced to allow operation with AAA batteries instead of AA). Also this unit died after two years of use, whereas my TX6U is still going strong after 4 years of use. Obviously, this is not a statistically meaningful sample, your mileage may vary.
In retrospect I rarely use the display (and then I have to convert the temperature to Celsius to use it), so it is probably not worth having that feature for me. It probably also makes the unit more failure prone. I'm replacing my failed unit with a TX6U.

I ordered this temperature sensor to measure the temperature of our downstairs basement. Although we set our thermostat to accomoodate different settings for the upstairs vs. downstairs, we never really knew what the temperature was downstairs. This little device helps us keep our guests comfortable.

I previously wrote that this product didn't have good range. I have finally fixed the problem, it was a low battery in the base station. Once I replaced that, the range for this item is working fine, and I really like it.
This was bought to replace the default simple one when that one broke, and the digital readout is nice for when we're outside.
