Vantage Pro 2 Advantage
|
Time owned: months
|
I am the happy owner of the Vantage Pro 2 wireless station and have no regrets about the purchase. It performs great in cold and warm weather. I have had it working flawlessly in temperatures down to -30F with about a -45F windchill and it also works in warm weather as well. The set up is straight forward and simple. I have the anemometer about 25 feet up right now and the ISS about 9 feet up.
This summer, once my tower is up, I will put the anemometer at the standard of 33 feet but will still have the ISS at about the same 9 foot height. The reason for this is the easy of servicing the rain collector which I feel may collect more than just rain, maybe the occasional bird or insect nest.
The temperature and humidity sensors are accurate when compared to the weather sensors that the local news service has in town as well. I plan to add the day-time fan kit to the radiation shield and hope to also add the UV and solar sensors sometime. One I decide to add computer logging, I should have it almost complete, although I am still trying to talk the YL into the soil moisture, soil temperature, and leaf wetness sensors for the garden.
I have had no interference issues with the wireless either, even with a 900 Mhz cordless phone in the house. I am so pleased that I may buy another unit to use mobile during storm season as well.
If you want a great weather station, pay a little more and get a Davis Vantage Pro 2. It is well worth the extra coin.
