I wanted to swap it out today, but it's not safe to go up on the roof because of the rain.
I would go...but the wife is home, and she'll kill me before I kill myself climbing up on the wet roof.
Perhaps tomorrow. I am frustrated at my dewpoint readings being so much out of whack, so it's on my To Do list, near the top.
I'll keep you all posted.

I'm prepping things today to perform the swap out tomorrow.
I just hate it that I have to give up Channel One because of a junky THGR968.
My outdoor temperatures are perfect, and always two thumbs up on CWOP/MADIS but that crummy humidity sensor component...ugh!
Man...

O.K.!
All swapped out. And hot as blazes outside...well actually, very high dewpoint, so evaporating one's perspiration is a "no go".
Anyway, the John Deere BAR122HGLA is actually quite nice!
The sunshine icon, for example is animated, and there are these "kinetic wave" icons that are also animated and indicate signal strength for each channel of the remote sensors. I wish the WMR968 console had these nice animated icons. Atomic clock handshake feature too. Very, very nice, and a bonus that it was included in the low price for the 268, which has the greater range over the 122NX. I relocated the 122NX closer to another window nearer my main console, and I have good signal strength for it finally.
Secondly, the 268 appears to be accurate, and I've assigned channel one to it, and using it now in place of the crappy THGR968. Too bad, because the temp sensor portion of the THGR968 was spot on. My humidity readings were only 50% accurate, at best. What a shame that sensor has such a bad reputation...and deservedly so. I just wish I could have kept it as my main temp/humidity baseline. Oh, well.
Oh, interesting that I had to restart VWS for the "swap channel 1" function to work. While the software was running it would not give up the solar powered Channel 0 for Channel 1. Had no choice but to restart. I found that interesting, as the calibration functions occur in real time without a restart. Just a bit of curious software info to share.
Well, let's see what MADIS rates me in a few days. Hope I get a red check mark and two thumbs up on all my sensors...finally!
And by the way...thanks for everyone's advice.
Much obliged.
Henry
