Honeywell TM005X Digital Hygro

I've done multiple searches to see if this has been asked before, but I can't come up with anything for this particular model. I've found the Honeywell TM00X Wireless Digital Hygro/Thermometer for a decent price, and I'm wondering about it's compatibility with the Radio Shack 63-1092 sensors.

I found two of them on Ebay for $4.00 each, because I can't get them in the store or on the Radio Shack site anymore, and I see that several gorillas have used these sensors in the past. I know that they are compatible with several Oregon Scientific Weather Stations, but I'm wondering if any of you have tried them with the Honeywell. They're both set up for 3-channel systems, however I can't find any specs on the frequencies of the three channels.

I realize that I could buy two of the Honeywell sensors, however they cost just as much for one as the base/sensor combo. And I like the look of the Honeywell base unit because it has two big readouts for temp and humidity (the only two things I care about) without being cluttered with a clock, calendar, and picture of sun and clouds, like the Oregon Scientific Unit (last I checked there were no clouds in my Edgestar wine fridge, and definitely there's no sun).

This wine cooler project has gotten a little out of hand, but I'm having fun with it. It started with an open box 28-bottle thermoelectric fridge that I got for $120 and has no dents or dings whatsoever.

Then I ended up buying the Johnson Controls A419 because the temp was running too low even with the controller cranked to the minimum setting.

Then I ended up buying a massive quantity of Spanish Cedar for a great price on Ebay leftover from someone's project. However in order to really do the project right I realized that I needed a way to rip the odd sizes down to the right width for shelves, so I ended up making a trip to Sears and getting a 15-amp 10" table saw on sale. Then I realized that my drill is still in Haiti, so I had to pick up a new cordless drill too.

Combine all of this with another pound of 65% heartfelt, a couple of oust fans, a 16-guage extension cord to chop up and wire into the A419 controller, two epoxied mesh cutlery trays for better bead breathablitity, and now the base unit and three sensors for bottom-middle-top monitoring, and I'm looking at a lot bigger project that I had planned on.

It's funny how these things can grow a mind of their own, but it should look pretty good when it's finished!

Disregard last. I found a new Oregon Scientific Wireless Base for $20 on amazon. It should look good on top of the wine cooler with my ceramic pipe tobacco jars and my hookah. And it's a three channel unit at 433mhz, plus the radio shack sensors are actually made by Oregon Scientific.
