The humidity Sensor on the Oregon weather station deteriorates over time I found
a replacement component even though the specifications say it goes to 90% humidity
when testing it goes to 98% exactly the same spec as in the manual..
The replacement looks more substantial, it is housed in a black plastic case it was very
easy to replace all I did was to carefully desolder the old component off the circuit board,
then solder in the new component. Testing after reassembly I took a very damp cloth and
loosely wrapped it around plastic sensor, assembly within approximately 5 minutes.
The reading on the display was 98%.
