Re: Oil Watchman Tech Specs ?



As an aside, has anyone with one of these looked at the actual output from
the probe?

I was thinking of buying a probe and doing my own interface to it. Probably
much easier than trying to decode the signal from the radio transmitter
which is more than likely encoded or even encrypted.
