WHAT'S THE 
WX AT UR QTH ?
Did you notice
the anemometer on the Tower ?
The same one
ran continuously for 13 years and only lost one cup in an ice
storm.
It's just been
replaced by the new PRO anemometer with big cups.
KØKS has
used a Peet Brothers Ultimeter 2000
for 10 reliable
years but upgraded to the Ultimeter
2100 for better
data output.
The UltiMeter
2100 has much improved and cool backlighting.
The RS-232 serial
data feeds a PC running Weatherview
32 version 6
a powerful WX
logger and graphics program.
Here's the custom
display I use:
The same anemometer,
temperature / humidity sensors have been used for 13 years. The
unreliable
tipping-bucket rain guage
was upgraded 5 years ago with a capillary drop counter.
RFI has never been a
problem from 160M thru 3/4M including 1 1/4M with power levels
of <100W.
No bypassing or filtering
has been done but station and system grounding has been robust.
The data
output could be used
for packet or internet reporting. This system is in the $600 price
range but it will
last a long time.
