Yes I'm sure you're right.

I'll not "stew" over this situation any longer as I've been fighting it for 6 months and haven't made any meaningful progress. I was just hoping somebody had a "magic bullet" when it comes to placement of these silly things. I acknowledge I may be asking too much of these things.

Thanks for your remarks.




I rather think you are right sonny; we are just expecting too much of a cheap unit.
Perhaps the only way to get it to read anywhere near right would be to put the sensor itself in a electronically controlled low temp oven (like the old xtal ovens) that was also humidity controlled as well. A bit OTT I think!

I may give up as well; but at the moment just doing some tests with the mercury stick barometer just to see how far out it gets.

Mike.
