Topic: Ambient Weather WS-1050 Wireless Weather Station

[~Steve~]

I'm considering buying the "Ambient Weather WS-1050 Wireless Weather Station" . I like all the data that this model offers and since it will be my first weather station the price is right also . I was wondering if the "SRS100LX radiation shield" that they recommend getting is necessary ?

I bought that shield for my WS-2080 and noticed a five degree difference for the better. My station is very much on par with other stations in my area as a result. HIGHLY recommend it if you really want accuracy.

Here is a picture of the two of them on my ws-2080.

The original is sitting on top of the bracket for the bigger, optional solar shield.

Yes, it would be a definite improvement in weather protection. The supplied "moisture cover" is factory recommended to be installed in a dry location. Another, unrelated issue - It appears this station doesn't have P.C. connection capabilities so if you're intending to put weather data online you may not be able to with this station.
