I very much like the information displayed and how it is arranged. The transmitter is outside a window on the opposite side of the condo and the unit still easily receives the signal through several walls. The only significant negative is there is extra clear plastic covering the front which is highly reflective, often making the information hard to read from many angles. I'm even debating trying to cut it off and make it like other La Crosse stations where the liquid crystal level is the top surface.

Know when to expect strong winds, freezing cold, rain, snow storms and other inclement weather with this forecast station from La Crosse Technology. The main console installs indoors and receives weather data from the included wireless sensor that installs up to 330 feet away. Frost, fog, snowfall, temperature highs and lows are forecast with time frame. The station also displays outdoor and indoor temperature and humidity. An atomic time sets itself automatically for Daylight Savings Time when needed, and shows date along with either 12- or 24-hour display modes. The weather station also displays 12-hour barometric pressure history for more accurate predictions on weather ahead. A handy forecast icon lets you know if it's going to be cloudy, sunny, rainy or mixed. The unit also features 4 LCD screen languages including English, French, German or Italian. The unit is can receive data from up three outside sensors (others sold separately). The receiver measures 6.89 by 4.72 by 1.22 inches. The sensor measures 6.3 by 1.69 by .91 inches. The receiver requires 3 AA Alkaline Batteries (not included). Thermo-hygro sensor requires 2 AA Alkaline Batteries (not included).

La Crosse Technology Weather Direct WA-1440U 4-Day Talking Internet-Powered Wireless Forecaster Review

La Crosse Technology Weather Direct WA-1440U 4-Day Talking Internet-Powered Wireless Forecaster

While Weather Direct offers some interesting technology, it fails flat out when it comes to delivering on that technology.
The WA-1440U fails more than not to connect and update with the Weather Direct servers, and the included TX-50U outdoor temperature sensor has a mind of its own. It works when it feels like working, and the rest of the time, you get nothing except dashes for the outdoor temperature on the display.
I have tried many times to set my preferred audio broadcasts, and performed many manual updates, but so far have failed to receive any of the audio information.
Sure, I paid only about $8.95 for the whole package at Radio Shack (it was clearance), but the system is not worth the cost of the batteries I had to purchase for it.
Unless LaCrosse Technologies gets its act together, I would not recommend anyone to purchase any Weather Direct devices at any price. Perhaps things will be straightened out eventually, but considering the trouble I am having with the basic technology (like the wireless sensor transmitting its data to the gateway and/or the display), I don't think this is going to happen.

With this talking La Crosse Technology internet-powered wireless forecaster, one no longer needs to wait for the TV weather reporter to hear the local weather. The Weather Direct WA-1440U four-day forecaster provides free weather forecasts sent directly from the internet to the unit for viewing and audio broadcast. By pushing the audio forecast key on top of the sleek black display, a male or female voice shares the selected location\'s daily weather, chosen from over 60,000 US and Canadian locations. The A/B/C keys broadcast custom audio feeds of news headlines, sports, and more. To transmit internet forecasts, an AC-powered gateway connects with a secure LAN cable to a network router. Additionally, a TX-50U wireless outdoor sensor measures temperatures right outside the front door.
The display stands upright or wall hangs. The selected location, location forecast, sunrise and sunset times, and outdoor temperature scroll across the bottom LCD section. In the center section, eighteen different icons and projected high and low temperatures forecast the next four days\' weather, updating every six hours. Internet-set time, date, and alarm indicator occupy the top LCD. Function keys on top of the display enable LCD contrast, scrolling-speed, and volume adjustments, Fahrenheit/Celsius selection, alarm setting, five-minute snooze activation, and viewing micro forecasts for morning, afternoon, evening, and night. Accompanied by mounting hardware, both the gateway and sensor communicate from 330 feet unobstructed. To operate the forecaster, no additional software or Wi-Fi connection is required, nor does the computer need to be on. However, high-speed internet service, a network router, and the separate purchase of three C and two AA batteries are necessary. A limited one-year warranty covers the forecaster.

The unit and remote sensor work together well. The display and features are exactly as advertised; it's a safe buy. The display unit looks clean hanging on the wall, and the remote sensor is easy to install and not obtrusive.
The only two features that I wish it had were outdoor humidity (it only reads indoor humidity) and a pressure reading (it only shows an arrow to indicate whether it is rising or falling).
