Sorry ARW, but if as you say, you have had many stations previously, then you should also know that you pay for what you get. Sub £150 is never going to get you an accurate temp reading in the manner you are implying you want it to. Like most of us you have to do the best you can with what you can afford. Now, times your budget by 6 and you can probably get a VP2 with Fars unit.
I've got £200 hundred pounds and would like my new station to be as good as a VP2... but it aint gonna happen!
