Review title: RH very inaccurate
Product review: I tested the Oregon Scientific BAR913 (basestation) and THRG268 remote sensor against a calibrated thermometer/hygrometer at work in a controlled lab environment.The actual RH was 55%, while the basestation indicated 45% (close enough)and the THGR268 indicated 26% (this is so inaccurate as to be useless).Both indicated a temperature within a few degrees of the correct value,which is quite acceptable.Since others indicate their unit is accurate, it seems it's luck of the draw whether you'll get a unit that measures humidity accurately.This is likely due to tolerances in the humidity sensor and associated circuit elements. Unfortunately there is no provision to calibrate these units. A simple variable resistor would have made that possible.
