Link to 7-day Bushnell model. This model can also be found in some WalMart store on clearance for $75. It would then be $25 AR. The 7-day models have additional features the 5-day models do not have: wind speed/direction and UV index displays, high pollen alert, and low air quality alert indicators.
$50 Rebate offer good on these WeatherFX 5-Day or 7-day forecasters only: • Sku# 950005CX (UPC# 029757950093) • Sku# 950005C (UPC# 029757950055) • Sku# 950007C (UPC# 029757950079) • Sku# 950007CX (UPC# 029757950109)
Purchase a 5-Day or 7-Day WeatherFX between 7/1/09 and 8/15/09. Offer expires 8/15/09. All rebate requests must be postmarked no later than 8/31/09. Offer good in US only and limited to 3 units per household.
Observation: The 7-day models are so much bigger than the 5-day models. 125% bigger screen. 6"x6" vs 4"x4" screen size. 8" vs. 5.375" diagonal. Everything in the upper half of the display is larger: numbers, and texts, and icons. The bottom half which shows the individual days are the same size, except there are 6 days displayed on the 7-day model, instead of only 4 days on the 5-day model. The 7-day model does costs $25 more, but I like it more also.
Special Features (7 Day Model) UV Index (7-Day Model Only) The display indicates the current UV index on a scale from 0 (very low risk)to 11+ (serious risk to unprotected skin). Wind Speed (7-Day Model Only) The display indicates current wind speed (in miles per hour) and direction. High Pollen (7-Day Model Only) This alert indicates that pollen levels are higher than usual in the selected location. Low Air Quality (7-Day Model Only) This alert indicates that low air quality has been reported in the selected location.

You might get more interest if you put in FAR (free after rebate in the title). I can confirm the $50 price in stores, I didn't pay to close attention to it though, didn't want some weather thing for $50, I can look out the window .
Though FAR, I can use some of my WalMart GC, think I'm on my last one though...
Good point, changed. And the nice thing about it is that it gives you the 5 (or 7 on the higher model) day forecast. Also air quality, UV, etc. on the 7 day one. (You can't get any of that from looking out the window.)
Its nice to have something like that that doesn't have a monthly fee and doesn't have to be connected to the internet or a PC. I'm not sure yet how well it works in my "rural" area. It started with a strong signal but this morning I only had one bar. . .

Use this link to determine coverage in your area. It's through Ambient technologies, but the device is the same (choose the 3, 5, 7 day forecaster). FWIW, the link would not load in Internet Explorer 8, but works fine in Firefox (may still work in IE 7 too).
About 15 left in Trexlertown,Pa. for $50. Hardware Dept.
Kind of a large rebate for a company that may or may not be in business in 6 months. I would never pay $50 for this but since is is FAR, what the heck. Just hope the rebate comes.

Just bought three on South High Store, Columbus OH, and they had three more. Rebate is maximum of three. Rebate center said to mail them in separately but same address is okay.

Hmm..I mailed mine all in one since even on the rebate form the have a place for multiple requests ( ____ x $50.00 = )
That's what I was planning on doing as well, but I think its safer to do them seperately as it gives them one less fulfillment excuse. On a $10 rebate I'd do all at once, but for $50 its worth the postage.

Does anybody know what signal are the piggybacking on? I'm not supposed to have any coverage, but it at least got enough signal to work initially. Their mapping is the worst I've ever seen.

I picked up one of these for my parents two years ago. They seem to like it. However, keep in mind that these things chew up batteries like nobody's business. You really need to use rechargeable AAAs and refresh them every month or two.
these were marked clearance for $50 at my WalMart but rang up $99 at the register. THere were 2 different varieties- one with a blue cover and one with a green plastic covering over the screen. which are you all getting? The green one seemed to be older packaging and came up "item not found" for me when I tried to check out.

ya..I noticed that too....the "new" one...I assume..is the one with the little chrome painted pieces instead of the flat black on the other model...but both were listed at the same clearance price
