I also have the LaCrosse WS2300. While it certainly represents excellent
value for the money I would warn any potential purchasers that the wind
measurements are extremely poor - wind direction is only accurate to 28.5
degrees, wind speed is hopeless due to a fundamental flaw in the design
(uses propeller instead of more traditional cups). If wind measurement is
important I would not recommend this weatherstation (but otherwise it is
a fairly accurate, robust and good value weather station - especially for
Linux users like myself who can take advantage of the open source open2300
software)

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.
