Can any of you recommend a wired anemometer or weather station unit?
I want to install an anemometer to monitor the wind speed at the top of my
tower. All I can find online are wireless units. On this reflector I have
seen a number of bad reviews of wireless weather sensors, because their
little wifi transceivers get damaged by the RF from a ham antenna. I have a
spare CAT5 cable at the base of the tower available.
I wanted a wired unit, but could not find one. They told me I could
bring it back if I had problems. I told them it might take a couple
months to find out. They said, that's fine.
I have a cheap, "Acurite", wireless from Lowe's, with no
complaints...Well, maybe one. Having to change batteries every few
years. It uses the 440 band for a link. I've never heard it and and
apparently its never heard me.
