Default La Crosse - WS2300

Yep, all Oregon wind sensors respond at this speed. The key to the law is
that the sensor data burst is extremely short thus the percentage of time
that it is "on air" for is not exceeded when it broadcasts every 14 seconds.
The Davis weather stations actually send their wind data to the console by
radio every 2.5 seconds! They are also legal in the UK as long as they are
the UK versions and no the US ones!

Another possibility is the WMR112 kit

the

all the sensors being seperate and the response time is 14 seconds for

the
wind rather than the 128 seconds from the WS2300. The downside is that it
won't connect to a PC (



A wired WS2300 will sample at 8 seconds, and WILL connect to a PC.

I thought there was laws involving how often 433Mhz or whatever it is
transmits? Every 14 seconds, are you sure?
