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

The software is another decision point. I did't fork out an extra £50 for
the (WeatherDisplay ?) software - I assume that is what Paul is using for
his web site ?

I kept to the included HeavyWeather S/W which is fine for what I need. I've
set up a permanent Com port connection to the PC and the station logs at
half hour intervals. With the WS2300 maximum number of logs around 180 it
means as long as I boot up the PC every three days or so the log is
maintained on the PC.

One problem with Heavyweather is the PC log file appended each time can
corrupt - it might be to do with a 64kb limit. Luckily I'd backed mine up.
Now I change log files every few months to avoid any potential size
problems.
