FWIW, I have a Davis Vantage Pro II, wireless. It's been running about 6 years now and I would not do anything different. I did have to change the battery for the first time in the external unit (Davis says 2 years is more normal!)

The only recurring issue I have is debris collecting and blocking the rain gauge.

From what I have read, the Davis units last longer than most.

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?
