Question About 2 Davis Vantage Vue Consoles
« on: August 28, 2017, 07:04:59 PM »
What I would like is to have my station beyond signal reach from my house. One console receives the data from the ISS, and carries it to a console in my house. I would just get a signal repeater, but I have 2 consoles already.

Not exactly sure what you doing but any number of consoles can connect to the 1 ISS, from any console connecting to the ISS, that console can re-transmit the signal on to another or number of consoles. In effect any console could re-transmit the signal again.

That should work fine, provided that you have an location for the relaying console that is not exposed to precipitation or extreme temperatures but is within range both of the ISS and of the other console.

...and can be connected to AC power.  [Retransmit takes more power than just receiving, so battery life would be much shorter if not AC powered]
