All depends on the your budget - I'm using a Vaisala WXT series sensor.  Communications are serial over 800+ feet of (well grounded and surge suppressed) cable

Speaks RS-232,RS-485, RS-422, and SDI-12 using SDI-12, ASCII automatic, ASCII polled, and NMEA 0183 with query option.

Thanks Art.  Unfortunately, I also operate 900 MHz!  It seems like there are no 
wired units anymore..........at least not ones that let you locate the station a sizeable 
distance from your house.

The Ambient Weather Falcon and its family of accessory sensors use 915MHz.

I have a Falcon and I'm not entirely happy with it, so I'm not
recommending it. I only mention it as "proof of existence", which is at
least a suggestion that there may be others that also use 915MHz.

Adding to the question, are there any that do NOT transmit in the 440 vicinity? 
 My YL bought me a wireless wx station and I had to return it, as it sent data 
bursts every few seconds that tore up my 70cm weak signal station.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Weather Stations ( sort of off topic)

Early this year I bought a Sainlogic WS0310 ....
Reasonable price, all the essential functions, works well, good software, 
wireless... 80-ft between the solar powered transmitter mounted on a 10-ft PVC 
pole near the base of my tower and the display on the wall in my radio 
room.Internet connection to Weather Underground so I can check it from anywhere 
I've got Internet service.

+1 for the wireless Vantage Pro 2.  I've had one for the better part of
two decades and it's never complained; a few months back I discovered
that Davis sells a PM kit with everything that could possibly wear (but
in my case didn't, including a new anemometer sender.  When I discovered
the new anemometer sender didn't fit mine, they sent an entire new assembly.

Currently it talks to a Weatherlink Live that publishes data to various
aggregators, as well as Davis' own weather map; a second wireless suite
reports data from the greenhouse.

Not inexpensive, but from my experience, pretty much bulletproof

Cheers,

Chris
