I have one (two, actually, that transmit to one base station) that 
reliably transmitted from my bulb frames to my former house, a 
distance of about 140 feet. I got this from a catalog called "Wind 
and Weather" (I think) but the instrument is made in Portland by, I 
seem to remember, Oregon Scientific. I'm sorry, I can't find it at 
the moment, having recently moved--I wish I had it set up, but I 
don't know where I packed it. The thermometers and the base unit are 
battery-powered.
