Indoor-Outdoor Thermometer - any good?
I see these Indoor-Outdoor thermometers which apparently stick on to a window or windshield. Are they any good?

I had an Oregon Scientific unit with Atomic Clock and Indoor/Outdoor and memory. It died due to extremely high temps while RV was in storage for a couple of months(maybe 5 or 6 months). Loved that unit but OS added features to it and added features to the features and all I wanted is time and i/o temps with memory.
Switched to Lacrosse and have the one mgirardo linked in his post, model TS-9160TWC-IT and transmitter(included with above model)TX29U. Actually I have three receivers but I only have two transmitters. I had mounted one transmitter in the propane bay, and during heavy rains and on a rough Missouri road and transmitter fell off the factory mount.
So now I have a new Model 9160 and transmitter at home and I took the old receiver and a new Model 9160 and transmitter setup to our condo. One receiver upstairs and one receiver downstairs and one transmitter under the cover over our balcony, which feeds outside temp to both receivers.
I also have a ACU-RITE model 00754W4 which I purchased from a Walmart after losing the transmitter during the storm. I use it on the road and do not mount permanently on the RV. It's like the antenna, listed on the pre-trip checklist, BRING IN TEMP SENSOR. DW wont't let me sit down until the check list is complete and we have a green board. That's submarine talk for having all the hull valves shut so we don't flood.
For home I bought a white housing that looks like a bunch of paper plates stacked upside down and about an inch apart up on our old OTA antenna mast. Temp is much more accurate than mounting the transmitter anywhere else.
