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 TX6U 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 TX6U can be added to augment information coming to La Crosse units already in operation. Remove batteries from base units 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 TX6U 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, two screws and screw anchors and a strong adhesive tape are included. The TX6U measures 5-1/2 by 1-1/2 by 1 inch. La Crosse provides a one-year limited warranty on its sensors. Each sensor comes with a detailed instruction sheet. --Garland Withers

 Lacrosse remote sensor October 8, 2008
TW (Tennessee)
This was a replacement for a remote sensor that died. It worked fine from the beginning. Be sure to follow the instructions to link to the base.
Time for a replacement October 6, 2008
looking for a good deal (Illinois)
Well our first weather station is still working. The remote outdoor sensor just died after 4 plus years of working. Maybe we just got lucky after reading other reviews. Something that sticks in my mind though is, I think it is important to protect your sensor from the elements. Either find a well protected overhang on your house or hidden area out of the elements of rain and snow. You are also not to hang it in direct sunlight for obvious false temperature reasons. Another thing is screw the unit down. My father-in-law went the easy way using the adhesive tape. Sounds great but it doesn't work. It fell a few months later and broke of course. Hope the new sensor works just as long.
 replacement for original October 3, 2008
Thomas W. Voshell (Boise)
The original one that came with my weather station lasted three years. Maybe that is ok, maybe not. It reported overflow temperature and stuck there. The replacement was better than 1/2 the price of the original entire weather station. So far I am thinking maybe not such a good deal. The new one works good however.
 We can see the outdoor temperature again! September 17, 2008
#1 Mom (Atlanta, GA USA)
My atomic clock/temp sensor is about 5 yrs. old. From the wear & tear of daily weather, the outside sensor finally died. The inside temp. and time continued to work, but I hated not knowing the outside temp so I could dress the kids properly for school. Now it is working again and I love it!
Time will tell... September 8, 2008

When they're working, I have no complaints. My original sensor only lasted about a year before it stopped working. I sure hope this one does a little better.
