Which transmitter?
Posted: Sun 08 Jul 2018 8:43 pm
I have a Maplin badged Fine Offset weather station. It's not got the radio clock so I'm guessing that it's the WH1081 (N96FY) equivalent?
BTW, it's the grey one with black console, I bought it in January 2014.
My problem is that the battery compartment has cracked around the base. This means that the batteries are not in firm contact, because the battery springs mean the case flexes backwards resulting in loss of signal.
When I get hold of one, I intend to try a separate external battery box soldered onto the existing contacts. (I'm no expert, but do have some experience).
In case that doesn't work I've been looking for a replacement transmitter but it's a minefield.
According to the instruction manual mine is 433MHz.
Now that Maplin's have gone where do I find the exact one I require?
For example there are two on this page both visually identical to mine and 433MHz. https://www.greenfrogscientific.co.uk/accessories/
