I think it's most likely that the transmitter unit is at fault
(since it has has been outside in the heat and cold, though sheltered
fromrain and snow).


Well, that's where it's supposed to be so I wouldn't presume that should
cause a problem..

I put brand new Dura-cell batteries in both units, and checked their
voltage.


I have a Davis Instruments unit and when it occasionally loses the
signal from the outside unit I walk the receiver closer until it synch's
again and then can return it to the spot in the house where it normally
resides (the remote unit is behind the silo and the house has steel
siding from direct site of the unit but it was the only convenient place
at the time and I've not worked on rigging up a special location for
it). Anyway, I'd suggest trying that as someone else also
suggested--get the two in close proximity. There should be a way to
test the communications on the base unit I'd think.

Contact LeCrosse directly--I presume they have a tech support group--the
Davis Instruments folks are very helpful.
