Default Oregon Scientific WMR-968 @ Costco

Hello All!

Costco has the above on sale in their website-catalog for $280.00, [#42282].

Is it a good instrument? Is it a good deal? Up here on Palomar Mountain
[where the 200" telescope is] it will get some pretty rough treatment.
We've had winds as high as 78 MPH, as of last year.

Are there comparable/better instruments that are around this price
range, either from O/S or from other manufacturers?

Can instrument[s] be ordered separately, instead of a cluster? For
instance, I am primarily interested in the wind speed/direction and
rainfall; not so much for the humidity or indoor/outdoor temperature.

Any assistance will be most greatfully received!

Many thanks for taking the time to respond.

Alain...Palomar Mtn.
