[TowerTalk] weather station on tower?

[Ken]

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.
