Then you must completely reset the second console. The reset button is located inside the battery compartment. WARNING this will reset all data stored in the console. Including resetting total rain to zero.

Now, why didn't *I* think of that!?  :shock:

That worked, thanks. Wiping-out the stored rainfall & highs & lows etc. are of little consequence since the other unit and PC program have all of that anyway.

Do you know WHY this worked? It makes me to wonder if there is more than one "Channel 0" that the console responds to or something. Otherwise why doesn't a re-scan work, and a complete re-set does...?  :?

Anthony:
I think it's because each sensor it set to a pre determined radio frequency some where in the 400 MHz range. So if you have a station and your neighbor has a station. Hopefuly they will not interfer with each other. Or to put it another way. If you had 2 outdoor temp sensors. They would not both operate on the same 400MHz frequency. For instance one might operate at 440.125 and the other at 440.130. Thats just my guess.

But in my case, the OA sensor in question is the original one that came with the console that had "lost track" of it. The console that was working is the add-on (a John Deere in fact).

But I think you might be on to something. Maybe there's some sort of "secret handshake" that goes-on when the system is powered-up, that selects from among a couple of freqs or something. Anyway thanks again for tipping me off to the console reset.

Anthony:
Over the last year I have aquired 2 consoles along with some of the other sensors. One of the consoles, the one that came with some sensors was still getting readings from the other sensors. Pressing and holding the channel button only yielded it finding the sensors it had be getting readings from. So I removed the batteries from those sensors. The only way I could get the second console to find my sensors was to reset it. So hense why I said why I did in my last post.
