well it's up, it is currently 4-5 inches lower than the Ambient Weather was. I get the wind will be all messed up but its not an ideal location for wind anyway. I don't think the rain should have an issue and the temp for now is spot on with surrounding stations, we will see how it does when it gets really hot and its pretty close to the vinyl fence in summer. I could raise it higher but I'll have to figure out a better solution that I did today.

PS: I set up Weatherlink 2.0 with a Weatherlink IP (I'm a Mac user.) I paid the "pro" fee because well, I don't know why. I set it up to forward to Weather Underground and CWOP. So far it seems to send data every 5 minutes to Weatherlink 2.0 and every 15 minutes to WU/CWOP. Next week I'll experiment with using the Meteobridge I have to get WU on Rapid Fire while trying to maintain use of Weatherlink 2.0

Quick question... how can I tell if I am on the 1 minute sample rate for the WLIP? My understanding is somehow I could check on the console if I am not a PC user, but isn't it the default? I want to max out the sample rate to the extent the stock WLIP can handle at least until I bring the Meteobridge into the equation...

Insolation = heating due to solar radiation (sunshine).

The function of the radiation shield is to mitigate solar 'heating' caused by sunshine, thus allowing the sensor to measure AIR temperature rather than heating caused by sunshine.

Actually I had looked at that thread when I first discovered the problem.  Unfortunately I can not do that on my own.

Well, you could make one....

I called Davis and they would not send out the cable for now based on the diagnostics I gave them.  Since it started to work again they asked me to do a couple of tests on the console.  They asked that the next time I find it not working to do a couple of things on the anemometer.  Then if it does not work to call them for further testing.
