Title: Remote Transmission of Rainfall Is a Problem
Review: Everything about this remote rain gauge is fine, except that it wouldn't transmit data remotely from outside the house. I suspect that the rain gauge has difficulty sending the remote signal through the walls of a house -- which is what you need to do! I could get the unit to work fine with both the gauge and the base unit in the house, but I could not get a transmission from outside the house to inside.I followed up with Cheney Customer service and found that the device will not transmit through the metal or brick of house frames. This limitation should be prominently mentioned on the box!Other than that, there are battery indicators for the both base and gauge, settable millimetres (0.0) or inches (0.00), and a large display of the rainfall. I really wish that the system worked. It would be fine if it could transmit the remote signal to the base unit.
