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. 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

WORKS FOR ME
I bought this as a replacement for a old one that was working intermittedly after using it for 6 1/2 years old. From what I have read of the past reviews my old unit lasted longer than past owners did. So I guess I got my money worth. Any way I did want to continue using my receiver with a new sensore transmitter unit and the new unit I notice is about 1 degree off from the old unit. Still very pleased with the item.
Perfect replacement
I like my remote thermometer/clock (have 5 units) and had recent difficulty that I narrowed down to the transmitter (over 7 years old and had water in it). This replacement works great (2 months of sub-zero weather) and it was easier to set-up than the original. I recommend this replacement; much less expensive than replacing the clock/thermometer unit. Be sure to match the frequency, as the newer units operate on a different one.
Doesn't work, have to get a replacement
I ordered the 9611 base which seems to work well. However this transmitter doesn't work at all. The base never received a signal no matter how many times I tried or new batteries I used. The transmitter that came with the base worked right away. From the looks of it, the inventory may be older than the transmitter that came with the 9611. Now I have to go through the hassle of getting a replacement. Hopefully that one will work!
La Crosse Wireless temperature sensor
We moved and couldn't find the remote sensor so I purchased a new one. It has worked well except after I first insalled it, it quit working and I had to reset it. So far, it has been working fine. I've had it for over a month now.
