Yes, you can learn more about the Oregon Scientific weather station at www.ambientweather.com They also have the best price for it at $214.00. Its retale is $495.95. Again, the model number is: WMR-968. I really am having a lot of fun with it! The weather station is an Oregon Scientific Model WMR 968. It is a completely wireless system with rain gage, wind direction and speed and tempature. It also measures barametric praesure. The unit itself does not have speech but it connects to the computer by a com port and with Window-eyes, I can read everything.
