If that station is in your price range then take the plunge. I think once you do get it you are going to want some more toys to go with it. Further down the road if you want to upgrade you always can.
You'll need software to display the data.
Weather Display and Virtual Weather Station are the most popular. You can also get Weatherlink, Cumulus, and Weatherview 32.
Oh yeah, welcome to the forum.
