I lived for years with my wired Weather Monitor II and loved it. Then I caught a Weather Echo Plus on eBay. The deal was too good so I bought it even though I had no ConsoleLink transmitter. I spent almost a year looking at it until I caught a ConsoleLink on eBay. Another great deal. Just like that I was wireless. Yippee! Then I found a deal here on the "For Sale" forum for a Vantage Pro and a Weather Echo. Bought them both and now I am a maniac!! I got weather all over the house. And it all started with the WMII which is still the backbone of everything and working great.
What's wrong with us?

It's in NJ  I do wonder though why it's less than 100 miles away and yet it's going to take another 2 days to get here  Mine is in Hodgkins Ill and has been for a couple of days! Scheduled date is Dec 7 but if they would move it it could be here much quicker. Knowing my luck the brown mule will break down somewhere and mine will get misplaced in the shuffle  |

Bobby, you're as bad as I am with trackings!  Then, when it says "Out For Delivery", I'm like a caged cat! Bad thing here is it goes "Out" at about 7AM and never gets here until 6-8PM... |

I see frosty is taking a good look at it too! Next he'll want one of his own for medical reasons.  |

Just got mine on 11/17. I too was surprised at the size. The good thing for me is that I seldom have to wait for delivery once I see "out for delivery". I just got down to the UPS sort facility and pick my stuff up first thing in the morning! Works well when I'm getting auto parts so I can get my day going with the needed parts ASAP.

Sheesh! Already, you're using it the wrong way. You supposed to be holding the anemometer and spinning the cups, watching it change on the console! Uhhh, I have been found guilty of that so many times myself. Even the wife has noticed me doing that before, and wondered why I was doing it.... Here is another hint/idea, try a leaf blower to see if it really gets up the speed the info on the box claims. |

When I got mine I tested it on the two fans we have to see which one had the higher wind speed. Also spent more than a few minutes blowing on the cups to see if could match the two fans  ! |
