Stats have maximum distance for today of 349nm!
Looking at the receiver log it seems they're limited to 350nm?
[feed][c]Max range AIR: 350.0nm

The site is a repeater for wireless internet so the wifi and ethernet equipment was already in place.

I do seem to have a bit of a dead area to the N and NW, might be getting shielded by other stuff at the top of the mast - but as it is a weather station primarily, the other stuff has priority

KeriWX,
Going off a tangent here, can you offer some advice about getting a personal weather station?
I have been browsing around for weather stations, I am looking for something that is sturdy and can upload to the IoT i.e. wunderground, ideally without a PC. Budget is perhaps max at USD700. From my reading it seems that faults do occur with the davis and other similar priced kits. I also had a look at texas weather instrument, looks robust but way off budget and that haven't include shipping fees yet! As you own a weather station please can you share your thoughts? Weather at my place here is tropical. Thanks.
Additional post: I am also looking at sparkfun's wimp https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials...o-wunderground. Just not so sure how long it last. But it seems I can learn a lot from building it from scratch.Last edited by North Borneo Radar; 2015-11-09, 13:25.

My Davis has been performing faultlessly for about 6 years, as do most of them. Wireless VP2's have a lot of different sensors that can be added later, they also have options to connect to Davisnet without need for PC. There is no need to pay the retail prices shown on websites.
I guess if anyone wants more details we should start another thread or exchange PM's.

You'll have to edit your local database. They are owned by eastern aus. But were operated by Qantas. Just as nelson air own the anz ones here

This was Air New Zealand flight NZ31 returning from Argentina. Started to track it at 4.10am, lost it over Wellington 44 minutes later. Might get to see this more often
