One of the benefits of using two TX units is allowing a better placement of the weather instruments.
Per example:
- One unit for the wind sensors, which can use quite long cables and may allow that the electronic parts (TX unit) could be installed inside the house. This option also brings another vantages: easy to power, easy access for software upgrades, no need of a waterproof enclosure.
- A second unit for weather instruments which usually should be placed near ground level (2 meters), and can't use long cables, such as Temperature / Humidity. The Rain Gauge can use long cables, however ideally it should also placed 1 to 2 meter above ground level.
Off course this all depends on the local conditions, not always is possible to reach the ideal conditions.
In any case, as previously said by JT118 said, one TX unit is enough to connect all the required weather instruments.
