Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Weather station
I have a LaCrosse WS-1510-IT marketed by 'The Weather Channel'
Purchased at WalMart for about $90
Does all that you ask. Has a few peculiarities, like displaying the wind
speed in Beaufort scale in center of the compass rose.
Also displays wind speed in mph or km/hr, temp in C or F.
Does have wind gust capability. Updates relatively quickly.
Rainfall, etc.
The units from Davis are lots better, but are also much more expensive.
This is the second LaCrosse unit I have installed. The wireless distance
claimed in their literature is rather optimistic. Expect only 1/2 to 1/3
the claimed distance.
The LaCrosse web site has available for download all of their manuals.

The LaCrosse web site has all their products, but you can usually find
the same products sold at a considerable discount.
