    True wireless thermometer

    i agree with yo ritchee on the split ring concept i have also worked with these. this is how a rotating beacon operates for a airport light. i dont think that this idea will work with these temp probes. i am more familiar with the type j etc. thermocouples.(basicly the same temp probes used in...
