(More customer reviews)I purchased this rain and temperature station (RGR202) on July 23, 2010. It arrived within a week. The set consists of a temperature sensor, rain collector and a main display unit. The Quick Start Guide instructions were very straight forward and easy to follow and it is very important that you follow the instructions to successfully assemble and operate the units. The temperature sensor is easy to set up but be sure to mount the unit in a shaded area as I have noticed up to a 12 degree swing between direct sunlight and shade, with the shaded reading being the correct temperature. The display unit is easy to assemble but you will want to take your time in setting the correct time, date, and year. Pushing the reset button will result in a complete loss of these settings. The rain collection unit can be a real stinker to assemble and level and quite honestly, in my case, not very reliable. I am currently working with my THIRD unit. The original one was an older model that required the removal of several screws to access the batteries, a real pain. That unit was inaccurate by about half of what the total rainfall was for any one storm. Oregon Scientific sent me a newer replacement unit (snap on battery door...very nice) but it had electrical problems after establishing communication with the display unit and quit working. Another phone call and another week and my third unit arrived. I set this unit up and three days later we had a 1.3" rain storm, and much to my dismay the display unit showed nothing. A spider had built a nest inside the collector that wouldn't allow the trip bucket to empty. The nest has been removed and the unit seems to be functioning so now I just have to wait on the weather to see if the third time IS a charm.
