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

[OH6NT]

Dave,

I may have misinterpreted the TAPR pages, I cannot seem to find any 
evidence of redy built kits. But I am sure, if you join the 238 
reflector group (link on TAPR site) or connect Will Beals, N0XGA, and 
put a question out on that matter, some of them might be able to point 
out some direction to help you out with the kitbuilding.

To put the unit together is not that hard you know, there is good 
documentation, and I don't see that it needs any particular skills 
besides accuracy, and ability to solder - then you should do just fine. 
Of course, if you are impaired in some way that don't permit you to 
build, that's another issue, but in that case there for sure are a lot 
of ppl willing to help out.

Good luck...
Thomas / OH6NT
