Yup, its alright. It comes with HeavyWeather S/W which is OK, you have
the
choice of upgrading for a further £50 to WeatherDisplay - the main
advantage
is FTP upload to a web page. I didn't bother and later found in this
regard
Andy's s/w does just as well.

I went to the Eastbourne shop and had a look at the units.
http://www.ukweathershop.co.uk/

Have a Google for WS2300 there's lots of discussion including some
interesting debate on the wireless use and battery life - though can't
remember exactly what forum now.

No doubt these units are good fun and for the monet provide excellent
value
and fun.

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

Andy.

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
