Hi

I have a La Crosse WS2300, it measures rain, wind speed & direction,
temperature, Pressure (absolute and Relative), it has simple storm warning
system, dewpoint, wind-chill, indoor temperature & humidity, outdoor
huimdity. The Station cost around £150 which at the current conversion rate
is $282.65. The system has worked well and i have found it to be quite
accurate. We've had a few thunderstorms while its been up, and the station
has been ok throughout. The station can be connected to the computer and
with the heavyweather publisher software, you can display the conditions on
the internet. If you have any questions please feel free to email me at
dudleyweather AT gmail Dot Com (replace the words with the appropriate
signs). My website is www.dudleyweather.angelcities.com, and there are some
examples of the data collected shown there, as well as the conditions that
the heavyweather publisher software produces.

I think the best bet would be to go to http://www.weathermatrix.net/forums/
and look at all of the spearate forums devoted to the various makes of
station. It is a USA based site so good advice should be available given
that the station is to be installed in Florida.

The Davis equipment is very good but the Vantage Pro is too expensive and
I don't have any experience of any other models. If lightning is a
concern then a wireless model is probably a good idea as there are no
cables running from the station to the console.
