I don't know about the La Crosse unit but I have the Oregon Scientific
WMR968 system and am extremely disappointed that it provides absolutely no
software or data tracking other than resetting every thing for maximum and
minimum readings. The only way to record detailed readings is to purchase
the expensive 3rd party "Weather View" program and/or the expensive data
recorder unit. The fancy looking wireless receiver/display unit has no
detailed data storage capabilities at all. This means that in addition to
buying a very expensive weather detection system, you will have to spend
hundreds of additional dollars to record and use the data you detect. The
solar powered sensors seemto work well but my old cell phone has far greater
information storage and data management abilities than this disgraceful
piece of crap.

I'd recommend a Davis Vantage Pro wireless station. Going on two years with
mine and am extremely pleased with its performance. Reliability has been
100% and it has withstood some pretty good weather "tests" here in Nebraska.
Also, Davis' data logger and software package (at additional cost) allow you
to create web pages of your data. You can view weather from my Gretna,
Nebraska site at http://members.cox.net/gretnawx

I'm sure you'll enjoy whichever station you decide to buy.

What do you think would be agood price on the Davis system? Looks like they
go for $390 or so.

$390 is close to what I paid for mine two years ago. If you look hard you
may find some on-line vendors that offer the WeatherLink software (used to
generate web pages and view/graph archive data) as a package deal along with
the station. If you do, go for it! The WeatherLink software (really the
data logger is what you're paying for, the software can be downloaded for
free from Davis' web page) normally runs $120 and up. There are many
software options for generating web pages from Davis weather stations I
just happen to like the WeatherLink product. No matter which you choose,
you'll need the Davis proprietary data logger so you'll end up buying
WeatherLink anyway.

Have you tried to ask them a technical question via the email address
provided on their web site )?

This company doesn't respond to email inquiries. If they don't reply
to questions BEFORE I buy, I can only imagine how responsive they will
be once they get my money...
