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

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

The reason for the inaccurate wind readings is the sampling period of 30
seconds (I think) over the 2 or 3 seconds of Davis models. The Davis model
is highly accurate for wind readings whilst LaCrosse is pretty useless.
Speaking with the experience of owning both models.

Yes the sampling rate doesn't help of course.

The console is rather near a radiator hence the rather tropical indoor temp!
