Actually, given that I am currently looking at purchasing a complete Fine Offset station and just scavenging the wind sensors off it, would I be better off spending a bit more money and just purchasing a Davis 6410 anemometer? How much longer would the Davis unit be expected to last than the Fine Offset unit?
The Davis unit appears to have longer cables than the Fine Offset unit. If I was purchasing a Fine Offset station, I was looking at having 2 WeatherDuino transmitter units (1 for wind, one for rainfall and temp/humidity). The length of the leads on the Davis unit (12m) would allow me to do it all with one WeatherDuino transmitter unit, so this would offset at least some of the extra money for the Davis unit. Any thoughts?
