C$1922 does not sound bad to me.   From my one trip to London, I realized you cant really do an fx conversion back to U$ or C$.

For example when I was there a can of Coke cost 1 Pound, which was C$2.44 at the time. u$2.00
A lot of every day items were priced in pounds the same as we would pay in dollars.  Everything from Mcdonald's extra value meals, to cars.  The only thing cheaper was pints of beer.   \:D/

What's a can of pop cost now at a corner store?

No, thoses changes don't add squat to the price.  The diff is VAT and importer/distributors who are gouging the UK customers.  In fact, it is the exact same RF chipset as the 900  hhz models here.

Andrew,

When are you going to change your profile to reflect your new equipment?

Greg,
And any other os wmr 968 owners using channel 1 as outdoor.  I posted a follow up to Greg's question on the cumulus site.

Andrew

"Edit cumulus.ini, and in the [Station] section, add a line:

WMR928TempChannel=1

and Cumulus will then use the sensor on channel 1 as the 'main' sensor."

Free is always good.

I went on the cumulus forum, Greg asked the channel 1 swap question in March 2009. The reply was "All it will do at the moment with the extra channel data is display it. That will probably change, but I don't know when."  I will join and post a follow up.  Last release was April, so I doubt it was fixed then, if not listed in notes.

Changing a line in the INI file is how I enabled channel 1 in WHUH.  It's good to know that Cumulus is looking at that.  Thanks for the update!  :)

 :-)  I also use channel one as my main temp reading, and I also appreciate Andrew's post.  I'll have to earmark this one.
Thanks,
