Bob gave you the right advice Doug. There is a chance that the RMI sender is compatible but without knowing exactly what it is I wouldn't advise going there.
If you want more EM2 air temp sensors you can make them from the base part which is the LM34DZ (for digikey part number add -ND ). They are only a couple of bucks each. I can supply the same part with a few wires attached and some heat shrink tubing around it but the price is way too high :>) The instructions for the wire colors and which leads are what color, look in the back of the EM2 instruction booklet. I added this sometime during the past couple of years so let me know if you need updated instructions.

I have a Rocky Mountain Instruments Uencoder in my panel and already have an OAT temperature sender associated with that; so I was wondering if I could just run a "Y" from that shielded wire when it gets to my panel with one lead going to the RMI and the other to my EM2 for OAT display. My possible concern would be if this might cause some unacceptable errors in the temperature measurement.
If is feasible to do this it would allow me to use the OAT sensor that came with the EM2 for other tasks such as sampling the air temp coming out of the radiators, etc.
