[wxsig] Davis 6153 w/WeatherLink & UI-View?

[OH6NT]

Hi agn Dave.

As far as I'm concerned (no bad thing about Davis though), today I would 
rather go for the TAPR APRS weather station. Here's the link: 
http://www.beals5.com/wx/

Why? Well, here's some good reasons (from my point of view):

1. It would be a lot cheaper
2. It is far more extendable and flexible than the commercial 
WX-station, you can add (or leave out) sensors that you do not need
3. You can get those weather data available for other applications 
(heating control, moisturizing etc...)
4. It is intended for the APRS network as default (Davis is not)
5. It would give the joy of doing something yourself (can be bought 
ready-made also, in case...)
6. After putting it to work one would have a greater understanding of 
what it is doing and why.

Well, anyway, GL with your weather project.
73:s, Thomas OH6NT
