A La Crosse Technology Wireless Color Forecast Station Is a Good Choice For a Beginner

The weather is very interesting to me. The La Crosse Technology wireless color forecast station the model #308-146, would be where I start.

Not all people feel like I do towards the weather. If you have decided that weather instruments and interpreting the weather are now important to you, this is where you want to be.

I am going to go over what the La Crosse 308-146 is all about. Then once we cover that, I will share my opinion of why it would be a good choice to purchase.

Description

This is a lower-priced personal home weather station. As I own other La Crosse products, I will vouch for the quality of their weather instruments. I have found them to be consistently accurate and they work problem-free. Both are good things in my book.

This La Crosse Technology wireless color forecast station has as its main features, just what its title says.

I love the color screen, I love that it is wireless, and I also love it for the forecasting technology that it houses.

The forecast part is my favorite. It will consistently give you a 12-hour ahead look at what it determines to be your upcoming weather.

It uses weather icons to display its forecast. It is never boring and the icons are really cool.Standard Forecast Icons

It is trending towards the forecast, plus the forecast is derived from using the relative humidity in your local location, along with whether the barometric pressure is going up or falling lower.

The station transmits from the TX142THV2 Wireless Outdoor Temperature/Humidity Sensor to the inside your home located display console.

The transmission is the wireless transmission of up to 300 feet between the sensor and the display.

Display

You may look at the picture on the colored forecast display console on the right. As you can see, the screen is colored and it has the following information available to you. It also has three other main areas of information.

It has an area I call the calendar-time-date type of information. It features an atomic clock and the seasonal time changes that are automatic as well.

Then the other two sections have indoor temp and relative humidity and then a section for the outdoor temp and relative humidity.

How Everything in your La Crosse 308-146 is Powered

  • Display: Comes with the included AC adapter; Also recommended is to back up with 3 “AA” Alkaline battery backup
  • The TX142THV2 Wireless Outdoor Temperature/Humidity Sensor uses 2 “AA” Alkaline Batteries.

Since this sensor is set up outside I always recommend using Lithium batteries for a much longer battery life.

Please know that the batteries must be purchased by you as extra purchases. Batteries are not included in your La Crosse 308-146 weather station purchase.

Cons

The usual downside to this La Crosse residential weather station is that it only offers a very limited number of weather instruments. If you are willing to pay more for a weather station you will get more instruments and data.

❌ Does not have any wind speed sensors (an anemometer)
❌ Doesn’t have a rain gauge
❌ Does not have a wind direction sensor (a weather vane)
❌ Doesn’t connect to the LaCrosse View App
❌ Doesn’t connect to your personal computer for data logging or data storage
❌The display does not have any alerts on it. You can not do alerts for temperature and wind or relative humidity, with it

Consumer Ratings

So in looking at this newer model from La Crosse, it reminds me a whole lot of a long-term good seller that came out a few years ago.

This referred to the wireless color weather station is the s88907 La Crosse Weather Station.

You can read my review on that weather station by going to it here: The La Crosse Wireless Color Forecast Station.

The one thing that definitely has been updated since the S88907 La Crosse weather station was released is the display screen is more extensive and has more features seen on it. I really like the improvements since the S88907 La Crosse came out.

So it is still a great seller for La Crosse but the new improved La Crosse Technology weather station model 308-146 has a new feature that everyone looks for today, it has a USB charging input.

Yes, you can charge your mobile device by plugging it into your new USB wireless weather station.

So the price, with the new improvements is around $5.00 more as of today. This may change, but that is my report for today on the pricing.

The one thing your eye will immediately notice is that the older S88907 model is more vertical (taller) and the new one, the 308-146 is more horizontal (wider).

You can take a look at these two models as I lay them out for you side by side.
