I had been hoping to keep my RainWise LR station on the air, but after the last problem early this summer, I've not been able to get it working again. Sad, but with all the various ones I have, none seem to have a working base. I have 5 Mark III consoles and an IP-100 feeding WeeWX but I guess it is time.
I've held out for a revision of Davis's Vantage Pro for a more readable screen but alas, I fear it will never come.
That being said, I am thinking of the 6152 wireless with the solar/uv option.
I really don't trust nor want the tipping spoon gizmo, and have a few well calibrated tipping buckets from RM Young and High Sierra and Texas Electronics which I trust a lot more than a tipping spoon from all the comments here.
Question 1: Can I still plug in a 0.01" tipping of any sort into the Vantage 2 ISS instead of using the AeroVane with the spoon?
Question 2: I also have a 'spare' RM Young Wind Monitor 5103 on the tower that I can use. I have an older, no longer available I believe, Davis box that would take a Young input and then convert it to something that you can plug into an ISS in place of the vane that Davis has. I can do that from the ground, while to use a new Davis Wind Sensor, I'd have to find someone to climb my tower to put it up. I hope to do that, but since I want to have wind information right away, would use the Young to feed the ISS. Does anyone know if the current Davis stations will still accept the converted Young, through the Davis 6336 adapter, and work, or is that option no longer in the firmware of the newly manufactured stations?
Thanks. Dale

Side question 3:
Is Rainwise now fully moved and has any contact with tech support? I know of a few LR Mark III stations still operating, and I wonder if they have been in general abandoned by Rainwise as far as any support? I have not tried Rainwise in a couple months, but since late winter none of the attempt through email or leaving a voice mail have been answered. Thanks Dale
