[TowerTalk] Weather Stations that don't transmit near the 70 cm band?

[Kim Elmore]

As a research meteorologist, this topic is nearvand dear. I had a Peet Bros. station for some time and truly liked it. It has in particular a heated rain gauge. But, critters kept chewing on wires, so I chose to replace it with a Davis Vantage Vue. It’s been pretty good over the past 10 - 15 y. Be had to replace the anemometer unit twice due to bearing failures. At the 10 m level on my tower, It isn’t bothered by 1500 W on any HF band and is RF silent. The supercapacitor on mine became leaky enough that it started eating the lithium 123 cells used to keep it going at night after the supercapacitor has been discharged. The supercapacitor is potted and so not serviceable. I decided to replace the lithium cell with two D cells at the base of my tower and have had no further issues. 

Colleagues like the Ambient Weather systems.
