This occured to me by accident. Got home tonight and checked the base unit for my Radio Shack hygrometer, then hit the key to check the readings for the 3 remote units. I had previously put the base unit and all three remotes in one humi and got the same (or close the same) reading for all the units, so I knew if they were off they were all off the same amountl.
I wanted to check the weather for tomorrow so I went to weather.com. popped in the old zip code and checked the stats. And in a little box next to the town name I noticed......wind speed......temperature.....HUMIDITY. I thought:dr ..........56%huh? hmmmm.....went and checked the RS base unit.......56%!
Now maybe the science guys will tear me up on this one but maybe this is a viable alternative to going through the trouble of a salt test? If other BOTL's can check their base units against the website maybe the validity of this theory can be verified or debunked.
EDIT:
Just occured to my dumb ass that the humidity inside the house would be different than outside. Moved the base unit outside just to see what it says .....dammit i wish i could delete this thread:r
