I'm thinking about buying this shield from ambientweather but don't know for sure if it will fit. Can somebody weigh in?

It's the SRS100 and here's a picture.

P.S. I did buy this from Charlie

Don

It does ok. Just be careful handling the temp/RH sensor. They're kind of fragile and I've been told they're sensative to sunlight. The shield is a good idea.

Thanks Slowmodem! That looks a bit more like the SRS100LX which has 9 plates vs the 7 for the SRS100. It's only a few dollars more so I guess I'll order it.

If you haven't done so already, download the Radio Shack Manual for their version of the 968. It's much more understandable:

Thanks again. That is a lot better than the OS version.

Here is some photos of mine.

Great photos! Does anyone know offhand what size pipe I should put in to hold the thermo-hygrometer and shield? I was thinking of putting in a 1 1/2" OD pipe. If nobody knows I'll just wait till it arrives.

Sam,

That's a really neat-looking rig. You should be proud.

Don,

I had mine mounted to a 4X4 for a while, now it's on a 30-ft antenna mast. It's mainly what your preference/budget/restrictions are. I guess the sky's the limit (pun intended!).

Wait till it arrives. But the whole thing does not weigh much.

Charlie had some problems when he tried to package it up so I'm back to using my LaCrosse. If anyone else knows about a good deal on an OS or VP I would love to hear about it. At least I've got my temp sensor in the shield now so I should report better temps to CWOP and Wunderground.

I purchased a WMR968 on Ebay for a tad under $200. Now if only Charlie would send me back the money I sent him. Does anyone else live near Grand Rapids, MI that could check to see if he's ok? I fear he may have lost his job and can't afford a stamp to send my money back.

He hasn't been on here since February 21 (and no posts since February 4). Hope he's okay.

i can send him an e-mail if you' like.

I've exchanged a few emails with him in the last week but haven't heard from him since last Friday. He told me his wife sent the money order back to me a week ago today but I haven't received it yet. I quite frankly don't know what to think.

offroadjosh · « **Reply #37 on:** March 04, 2009, 07:36:52 PM »

I would give it a couple more days and if its a no go then let us know.

Yeah, he could just be forgetful. If I haven't got it by Friday mail I'll post again. Thanks.

No problem:) keep us updated!

I just talked to him and he says he will send me a tracking number later tonight. Said he sent it FedEx. I will advise if I don't get it.

mackbig · « **Reply #41 on:** March 06, 2009, 06:34:20 AM »

I guess email money transfers are not that big down there. That is the best way to send money amongst friends/relatives...

I've always used PayPal. I suggested that to him but he said it was too much hassle for him to set up. Now I'm starting to understand why. He did not send me any tracking number last night as he promised.

mackbig · « **Reply #43 on:** March 06, 2009, 01:14:45 PM »

I use paypal too, good for ebay purchases. Never rec'd money via paypal though.

email transfer is cool, basically anyone who has online banking at a big bank in Canada can use it. No extra setup, just a few clicks to recieve cash.

Thats to bad hes doing this, how much money is it?

Josh

donaldl43 · « **Reply #45 on:** March 06, 2009, 05:56:47 PM »

I got it today. It did come FedEx. Don't know why he didn't send me the tracking number last night like I had hoped but at least I got the money order back. I'm feeling a little better about people now.

DanS · « **Reply #46 on:** March 06, 2009, 09:51:29 PM »

Glad it all worked out okay. Now I'm wondering what the abbreviation "FedEx" stands for? Just over a week to send paper mail from Michigan to California, "Fed-up & Extra slow" ??

Maybe he did send you a tracking number but he sent it FedEx also. So that means you should be getting it before the end of the month.
