Weather station choice

[MarkD]

hi everyone

not an unusual request for help im sure, but im new to weather stations etc and want something that will give me the usual measurements - im torn between the vantage pro 2 and the lacrosse WS2500. im guessing that due to the rpice difference the pro 2 is considerably better but im just wondering if it really is THAT different?! Any other reecommendations or thoughts mch appreciated

thanks in advance

Mark

you get what you pay with auto wx stns the same as anything else. Mine is VP wireless and is first class but people with the other models may say they are happy with theirs. Part of the choice hinges on what you wish to do with the data. Simply store it to your computer or upload it to your site on the web.

Good choice

Mine arrived the other day and is a very nice piece of kit. Just trying to find a good accurate place to put it in the garden!
