One suggestion based on automotive racing, orient the thermometer so that the preferred temp range is straight up. That way a quick glance will tell you whether it is warm enough or not. On Fri, Jul 22, 2011 at 6:17 PM, Dave wrote: > Look at the bright side... perhaps you can get a big new "John

If you don't need high accuracy - the temp sensors that are used by indoor/outdoor clocks can be used with receivers that can switch between several transmitters. - look for weather station stuff on Google.. Karl S
