So do we have any other amateur weather Ham's out there like myself? If so, what type and brand weather system do you use?
I am using an Oregon Scientific WMR-968 with dual screens, one here in shack, and the other is in my bedroom. Also use Weather-Display software to view and keep records on my PC, as well as do LIVE realtime updates of weather conditions on my main Ham Site. (www.w4lgh.com)
For Radar, I use StormPredator, which interfaces directly to NOAA's radar info, and will show a bunch of different weather maps on the screen, in almost realtime. A lot of people I know around here are playing with that GRLEVEL-X software, but I can't see where it really displays any different info, but required a lot more user intervention to set it up.
My Oregon Scientific system has been running flawlessly for almost 3 years now. I did lose the rain guage transmitter, but I think a close lightning flash got it. The system is completely solar powered and has done a great job, and has super wirless range, as I have a temp sensor mounted on a tree, back in the woods, about 75 yards from my receiver here in the shack.
So whats your story?
