Default La Crosse weather stations

I think the main advantages of the 2500 are the greater wireless range and
the lux reading jobby.
I have now had the 2300 for 2 weeks and am very happy with it now that I
have relocated the console for perfect reception. Just started messing with
the web-publishing, check out www.ploppy.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/wx.htm if you
are feeling bored.

Like Terry my wind guage doesn't read as it should, however it is on a fence
blocked by trees and the house so what should I expect.

Christmas cheers

I've been lurking in this group for a good few years now but haven't made
many posts. I'm after a bit of advice.

I'd like to buy a weather station that measures temp, humidity, pressure
wind and rain and that will connect to my PC.

I reckon the La Crosse WS2300 or WS2500 are good options. The question is
why is there £150 difference between them? On paper they look pretty
similar except that the tolerances aren't specified for the WS2300. Is it
much less accurate? Are there any other makes/models that might be better
in the £200-£400 price range?

Any thoughts welcome.

Cheers
David
