steve,
that sounds great! I am not familiar with that route.... I am looking for a VP2+ with remote anemometer and serial data logger... IF I can get that with out going too far over 800 then I will.
Jim, I have a wife that is so tight, she squeaks when she walks <GRIN>. I have been working on this for about a week, after she said I could spend up to 800.00, my system works fine, but, I know it is getting time to replace somethings, so I priced the items out, and it came to about 700.00. The model 6328 is the same as mine, minus the console which I don’t need. I also wanted a few more gadgets, like a leaf monitor, soil probe, leaf/soil station, and a repeater.
Well I wrote wrote 5 major vendors, and ask them to quote it to me, some said price match only, so basically I took the least expensive, told the other 4 to give me a quote, it saved a bundle, shipping from Davis, was 29.00 for everything.
My point of the post knowing your watching the dollars, is that, quotes saved me a bunch of money, or at least I see it that way, and that is an idea for you if you want to say within your budget. I went over the 800.00, but I told the wife I would put the old station on eBay or something, and hopefully get what I went over with.
Jim, it was an experience doing it this way, I really got a kick out of some of the messages. A couple really downed the company I went with because they do “drop shipping”, heck I didn’t know what that meant. I asked, and they told me the manufacture would be the shipper, so I contacted Davis, they verified it, so no matter if it’s in a warehouse, or manufacture, Davis warranties it, and supports it.
I.m happy because my wife thinks I made a good deal, so do I <GRIN>, I get some more gadgets.
If you want to PM me, I wiil give you the names of the vendors, and who I bought from.
Steve
