Does anybody know how to ohm out the leads from the Davis Vantage wind sensors? Mine is way up the tower and the color codes for the downleads got lost by the climber. I couldn't find anything to help in the docs.

The main complaint you hear about Davis is that it's expensive.  That
includes the computer interface, which is extra.  While I've heard good
things about Peet, most of the low-cost stuff gets a bad rap for
reliability.  I'm on only my second Davis since I think 2002.  Ask
people with Lacrosse and Ambient how many years they get out of each new
station.

Do think about height for the wind sensor, and proximity to other
things.  I see them mounted on towers, and I'm unclear on how much that
impacts measurments, so I should go read the setup guidelines.
