This is not a slam but an observation, but I'm damn sure glad I'm not in the market for a PWS. Reading threads like this would turn me off in a heartbeat about buying Ambient, or whatever half dozen varieties it may be called (part of the problem as well). I'm certainly not an IT guy and knowing what talks with what, what sensor goes where, what needs calibrating for online vs in house, what data can go where and what can't, and all the other idiosyncrasies, it lunacy. I'm sure once you're into one it's fairly straight forward, but that just it, I'd never try.

Im uncommitted to Rain gain .83. I calculated that on the assumption that the older ws-1001 style array tipped at .3mm and the new HP2551 type array tipps at .25mm. But Ive just found on a post here that the newer HP2551 type array tipps at .254mm which would mean my Rain gain should be .85 on the old console. Can anyone here confirm the tipping figures of both arrays so that I can calculate the correct Rain gain ? Thanks
