I have the Davis Vantage Pro 2 about 20 feet up on my tower. This unit has the
Davis WeatherLink cable added to the display unit to connect to the Internet
router.

The rain gauge accuracy is less than expected when compared to other gauges I
have. It may need a standoff to put it farther from tower leg. Also, I am
thinking about raising it to near the top of the tower (150 feet), but am
concerned about maintenance issues (too old to climb anymore).

Subject: [TowerTalk] weather station on tower?
Hi All -- I'm thinking of putting up a weather station at my QTH, and
connecting it with WUnderground.com (as in "W"eather Underground).
I want to know wind speed and direction at or near my tower and _ON_ the tower
will give the most accurate data, it seems.
Questions:
* anyone notice interaction/RFI issues of a USB-connected weather station on a
tower or close to it?
* what experiences do you all have?
* the WUnderground.com site has a number of suggested weather station packages
-- any others you like?
73,
