Works just fine June 16, 2008
I've had mine for severa months now and it works just fine. I don't know why the pictures show it lights up - mine doesn't either (like the other commenters). One thing - set the altitude (elevation) for better forecasting.[...]. The display kept forecasting rain and I set the elevation and it went to partly cloudy in minutes (it wasn't raining) so setting the elevation so barometric pressure is read more accurately.

Works 1000% better February 29, 2008
I replaced a La Crosse unit with this one. Much much better, the remotes are about 3/10ths different than a Davis certified unit. I am pleased, and very pleased to be rid of the La Crosse. 3/10ths are better than 3 whole degrees.

I have more trouble with these remote units February 9, 2008
Does not have a very good base. Remote unit keeps blanking out. I keep reset the unit and sometimes it comes back

Chagrined for $50. February 4, 2008
I bought the BAR888RA three months ago and am seriously disappointed. I check it sometimes two, three times a day against the local airport meteorological report just to see how accurate it is and it never agrees. The outside temperature is usually off by at least five degrees; the barometer never agrees with two others I constantly check; the device itself is constantly tipping over on the desk and breaking the batteries loose or the back comes loose because the latch is weak--I have to tape it shut. If the room is a little dark, you can't see the numbers on the face, you have to turn a light on to read it. Also the atomic clock doesn't connect with the government radio at work where I've used it the most; I have to put it in the car and drive it home in order to get the time to sync. The weather forecasting sucks. It can show the sun shining while it's raining outside and continues to rain or remain overcast all day. Or vice versa. And if you're going to put the batteries in the remote outside sensors when you first get it, you'd better have a tiny, watchmaker Phillips screwdriver or you won't be able to take the back off the sensors.

Does everything I need it to do January 19, 2008
After getting through the initial set up, meeting the remote sensor placement criteria, etc., the unit has been accurate, with no manual setting needed. Wish the display was a bit larger , & had slide & hinge closure for sensor battery compartment, rather than screws. Still getting used to it, but really like it!
