At my new QTH in Mt Airy MD I've become much more interested in wind speed and direction. It really howls here in general and I'm in the open on a hilltop so it's worse here than generally reported.
Davis makes good instruments. I have a Davis Vantage Vue: wireless spread spectrum. Needs battery replaced every year or so, but otherwise pretty tough. Kim N5OP "People that make music together cann
I do hope most responders post here, I too would be keen to get a first class WX station.. mac/mc w5mc It really howls here in general and I'm in the open on a hilltop so it's worse here than gener
I'll add that as a research meteorologist, weather instruments are sort of a "thing" for me. Davis makes nice instrument sets, but sells each instrument separately, which makes it all more expensive

Perhap a bit off subject but when I bought my new QTH in October 2016 it had a Wireless Forecast Station hanging on the way. Nice looking 8 1/2" by 10 1/2" digital unit, La Crosse Technology. Labelle
Yes! I forgot about Peet Bros. Their instruments are well made. I had one of their stations and liked it very much. The best part was, because it is wired, it had a heated rain gauge! It may sound si
Weather Davis VantagePro 2 for me too. Has been holding up great. I use a RaspberryPI and WeeWX to upload data to my web and Wunderground (every 2 sec aka RapidFire). It can also upload to CWOps and
I'll second the recommendations for the Davis Vantage Pro2 and weewx. The main complaint you hear about Davis is that it's expensive. That includes the computer interface, which is extra. While I've

Hi Don and folk, Knowing how bad the winds and rain can get on the Oregon coast I'd say this is quiet a good recommendation for the Peet system Don has. Winds can easily get to 60-70, sometimes even
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 hel
Just for information I bought a Ambient WS-2080 in June 2011. Since then I have had to replace the wind cups in May 2016 and the transmitter in Jan. 2018. The location is the top of the Palos Verdes
I agree ... I've had an Ambient WS-1001 for just under four years (got it for my wife Christmas of 2015). In that time it's survived a near miss from Hurricane Matthew (category 4 just off the coast
