[Elecraft] Elecraft compatible WX station

[Mel Farrer]

I have the Davis Pro also for about 6 years.  No RF issues.  Antennas all over the place 160- 450 MHz.  Only problem is I can't keep the spiders out of the rain bucket, hi.. Put up a Home Depot tube gauge.  Easy to clean.

This begs the question.  The original poster said he was getting ready 
for the hurricane season.  Given what you say, I doubt the Davis 
anemometer cups would survive a near hurricane blow.

Ditto with my Oregon scientific.

So maybe the original postee has to reassess just what he wants from him 
WX station.  It looks like he needs something more robust than a hobby 
grade wx station.

However, my first concern when a hurricane is approaching is how robust 
is my house, the escape route, environment and the surrounding trees!
