Default La Crosse - WS2300

Don't think much of the wind guage, the ws2500 one looked a lot better.
I've also recently been having a few problems with the rain guage. Its all
wired, not wireless, maybe its my wiring rather than the unit... Overall it
was good value and I'm pleased with it - the ws2500 was just too expensive.

One thing I will vouch for is Andy's uiweather s/w. I've got it installed
and its excellent.

Hi Liam

It's a cheap and cheerful weather station. I got mine last year (never had

a
weather station before) and I'm happy with it. It was fairly pain less to
set-up and runs fine.

The only downside to the station is the software that comes with it. Allot
of people use http://www.weather-display.com/ as a replacement although I
run my own software http://www.apritch.myby.co.uk/uiweather.htm

I've been looking at the La Crosse WS2300 as can be found at
http://www.ukweathershop.co.uk/acatalog/lctws_sub.html

I only have a cheap Oregon Scientific Wireless temperature and humidity
sensor at the moment so am looking for like a medium quality weather

station
with most features (wind, rainfall). I don't know much about all the

brands
available e.t.c. or things but does anyone have any experience with La
Crosse (and specifically this model) and is it suitable for someone like

me
who's never had a proper weather station before

Cheers

Liam
