I know a few that have the http://www.maplin.co...recaster-682792 , I lost my davis a few years ago and got a cheap one from maplin, it did not have the usb so I made my own charts. the guy a few doors down had a davis and the results of his to mine were not far out. his temp reading was always 0.2c lower than mine but the rain was spot on. I have just got the one in the link above and having a few problems with it right now due to wind (see other thread) but the temps on over the last few days have been spot on to the davis readings and the rain and pressure have been 100% spot on to his. so far I am impressed by it for that and due to the price. its no VP2 but well worth the money and right now its 59.99 new

thanks for posting back, the unit come built and just said make sure the north mark on it is pointing to the north.....just my luck its made wrong and they have put the vane on wrong. I will get it back down in the morning and run some test on it., going to stick a fan next to it blowing from the north and see what the reading is before I start to take it apart., I was sure I was going mad. had a Davis years ago but it seems I have forgot how to use a vane now (miss my davis ) ,lol

ok this is going to make me sound so think. I have set my weather station up and the Anemometers for wind speed and wind direction. now I set the unit up to north points north. and heres my very silly problem, today I know the wind is coming down from the north, I would call this a north wind.....but my weather station tells me is blowing south(as that's where it points to so it reports is a south bearing direction. ??? do I need to turn my unit so south is north lol. or is south bearing mean its coming from the north lol
