 Great product April 23, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
So far great product. I had no issues setting up. Just follow the directions and give it time to lock onto the local time clock. I have my remote about 100 ft from my house and it is working fine. I like the display. I would avoid the alarms you set, as they go off and keep beeping until you reset. My alarm went off at 1:00 am and I was wondering if it was some alarm clock I forgot. Took a while to figure what was beeping at that time in the morning.
 Buggy firmware April 10, 2007
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
I like the unit despite several bugs that I found to exist in the unit's firmware.
It's got large LCD and lots of information. Atomic clock syncs with Colorado station just fine.
Bugs:
1. When the inside temp if exactly 75.7F, the unit may show 73.0F instead (then 75.7, then 73.0 again). So, if I see 73.0 I know that the temp inside is actually 75.7F.
2. The arrow showing the pressure tendency should be based on the tendency within the last 6 hours according to the manual. Not true! Pressure is stable for 18 hours and it still shows arrow down and clouds with rain. So, I have to rely on the pressure graph itself rather than the arrow.
Other cons:
1. The pressure graph shows up/disappears every 5 seconds or so. According to the manual, this is to combat LCD screen burnout. C'mon! This is not plasma! This is LCD screen! No burnouts possible! However, it does save some battery.
2. As mentioned in other review, the moon phase is displayed counterintuitively: black simulates the lighted part of the moon, while empty part of the moon depicts the shaded region of the moon. Should be vice versa.
3. Humidity shows -- when it's below 20%. During winter months the inside humidity was low, but I had no way of finding out how low except that it was below 20%.
4. If the outside temperature is below -22F, it will show --. So, on those cold Minnesota nights you don't know how low it is.
Other than that, the unit is good. The temperature and pressure readings are quite accurate.
Great Weather Station April 5, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This weather station is great. It tells me an amazing amout of information. It is easy to use and set up. The only thing I would change is that the High's and Low's would reset every day. Right now you have to manualy reset them.

This weather station give reliable outdoor weather consistently. I had a cheaper one that would lose the outside temperature on a regular basis. That has not happened with the La Crosse WS-8025. Read the owners manual. There are alot of features to set up.
a little bit complicated April 1, 2007
Although this device works well and it's fun to see the things it measures, it took a while to get it to work to our satisfaction. An alarm went off each day and we didn't know why. A call to La Crosse Technology solved the problem. The technician was knowledable, courteous and helpful.
