[La Crosse or Oregon]

I'm looking for a slighlty more featured weather station than my present Oregon system which is fairly basic with just an outside wireless temp sensor.

I've seen some La Crosse models for about £100 with wind speed, but I'm wondering if I go for a better Oregon model I could still use my sensor.

Is there much difference between La Crosse and Oregon in terms of quality?

I've just bought an Oregon WMR100 and was mainly swayed by better write ups for Oregon products in terms of service quality and reliability at a bout that price point. However the reports vary according to each particular model in both ranges.

Someone here might know more.

[Oregon WMR100 problem]

Hi everyone from wet and windy North Wales

After much deliberation I've bought an Oregon WMR100.

I've set it up and all functions work except the wind direction indicator which remains firmly at 12 o'clock and doesn't move. On the advice of Oregon I've removed all batteries and re-set everything twice to no avail.

I bought this system off ebay from Germany and before I start having to use babelfish to try and bridge the language barrier regarding return I wondered if anyone had any suggestions.

Oregon UK were helpful technically until I mentioned an ebay purchase when they suggested firstly that it's 'second hand' which it's not, secondly that it's a 'refurb' which it's not, and then wanted to pass the buck to Oregon USA.

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks

Eric
