I had an older model from La Crosse that worked well for years. When it died, I bought a new one. Got it... and it doesn't work. Display comes on... but no buttons work, does not communicate with temperature transmitter. So they sent another. The buttons work on the second one... you do have to push on them several times to get them to work, but hey... they work...but still no outside temperature. After going through the setup process several times, doing it exactly as explained, still no communication with the transmitter. I have two family members who have had similar problems with the newer models. I wouldn't waste the time or money on this. Do yourself a favor and don't waste yours.
