Title: Very disappointed
Product review: I purchased Oregon Scientific "long range" rain gauge in October. The product description states a 300-ft transmitting range. I placed my rain gauge in the backyard with the receiver in the house no more than 30-feet away (and by a window, too!). In less than an hour the receiver no longer was getting the signal. This was after using brand new Energizer Max batteries, instead of the cheap ones provided. I tried re-booting the transmitter and receiver with them sitting next to each other (a minor annoyance having to remove the EIGHT screws to get to the batteries). The connection was quickly restored, so I returned the rain gauge back to its place outside. The receiver continued to maintain contact for about 35 minutes, but then lost it again. I am extremely unhappy with my purchase.
