PCE-FWS 20 Radio-Controlled Weather Station for Wind Speed and Direction Precipitation and Moisture with USB Software and Touch Screen

It is what they say it is

Great easy to use

All worked first time, and seems reasonably accurate. The clock is not radio controlled, and therefore it must be set manually.

I got this just over a month ago to measure the wind-speed and direction at the top of an 8 storey building (University project to determine viability of a wind turbine). Looking at results closely, I found that the cardinal points (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW) are favoured over the in-between directions (NNE, etc.) For casual interest, this doesn't make any difference, but this kit isn't up to the task I wanted it for. There are clearly things wrong with the data.Also, 100m signal range? I don't think so. It's intermittent even at about 15m. So much for setting up the base station in the professors office!To be fair, the other data gathered so far seems to be reasonable. One glitch of 180mph winds.

Bought as a present

I know this item before buying. Its a good and complete meteo.Also Its ok for amateur radio aprs enthiusiast operators.Everthing ok.(73 EA1CI)

Solar recharge great Give it a full charge to start off with helps. All works well... BUT ...make sure you can get at the rain gauge as will need cleaning.. so 20 feet up a pole not so good if you can not access it easly..

Good gadget - interesting to see results, but the rain gauge is easily affected by movement from the wind otherwise very good
