Anyone know a suitable replacement for a LaCrosse WS2315? (Googled
and have something on the way from RS but would welcome a
recommendation!)

If it's the same spec. as the Davis bucket then this will do....

I assume it's a tipping bucket gauge like my WMII, unless you have a
connection problem or break in the wire it may need it's reed switch
replacing. You can pick these up quite cheaply from RS Component's.
I have a couple of spares and the RS Part No. is 229-3670

Thanks Keith - that's the one I managed to Google for so hopefully
it'll do the business! Until then I'll have to rely on good old
manual measuring technology!



Top posts both of you:-) Its great to see two people able assist to
each other courstey of this excellent ng with such specialised
equipment. Equipment like this is not the sort of thing you would
expect to be able to purchase in Focus.


I'll certainly let everyone know if it succeeds - then at least the archived
posts will let someone else benefit!
