Does anyone know how to transmit the data from the RediCheck to a laptop? It has got to be possible since it is transmitted to the remote receiver.
You have to get one of them there talking therms. Then attach two tin cans on the ends of a wire. Keep the one near your ear, and the other one near the talking therm. Careful nobody trips over the wire. They still make tin cans??? Maybe aluminum beer cans will work---we all have a few empties laying around---If not, make some empty---This is the fun part anyway.You can hook whatever size antenna to the receiver and/or mod the ET-73 to increase range. To be honest, though, this project would be far more expensive than it's worth, IMO.

Now that's a nice message to get.John
I just tried the beer cans - I had a few dozen laying around - I mean neatly stackedand they did not work - I kept getting a message to consume more beer and all will be well
Simple answer here Dick is the Geek Factor. I'd show this thread to my nephew ( a self proclaimed Geek) but then he'd wander around looking like a love struck calf just thinking about building code and receiver ports. He'd never get around to doing his chores and I really don't need the sis-in-law mad at me (again) for filling his head with (more) ideas.<snip>
Don't know why anyone would really want to do this though. It seems to be of marginal value to only a few folks at best. Even I, a retired EE don't see a need or have the urge or motivation to do it. I just want the Q, to hell with all those numbers.
It just sounds like something to try and see if I could do it. Last weekend I was tempted to bring home a handful of gear from work and temperature map my MES. Why? I am not really sure, maybe because I could. I ended up not doing it that weekend, but I still might. I work in a test and validation department and write code/test stuff all the time. That and it might keep me out of other trouble I would otherwise be getting into....Don't know why anyone would really want to do this though.
