[TowerTalk] Wired Anemometer for Tower?

[Tom LeClerc W1TJL]

Davis has wired and unwired versions - but you did say cheap and they 
are not.  I bought a wired weather station for similar reasons and it 
has been fine.  However I can make the PC stop seeing it - USB issue and 
so far with various shielding and various USB cables it still gets hosed 
on some frequencies (160 Meters) and various others.  But it's not the 
weather station having an issue it's the PC seeing the weather station.

Hope that helps a bit...

73, Tom
