I regularly check the local airport weather station either by the web or via the 118.125MHz signal.
I was wondering what it takes to have precipitation added to this station. According to the info at
AirNav, it is an ASOS-3. According to the FAA, it is an ASOS3P implying that it should include precipitation. It does have a precipitation type sensor, but no amounts. See
https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/weather/asos/?airportId=KPZQ Does the precipitation type give it the "P" suffix?
I see other info indicating that ASOS stations have the precipitation gauges (older was heated TBR, now weighing).
Are precipitation gauges uncommon for these stations?
