New Honeywell TE923W Owner

Hello...didn't know where else to put this to see what else is out there.  I just ordered a PWS, moving up from a Royal outside temperature sensor and test tube type rain gauge.  I considered the Davis but couldn't afford it.  Will use the TE923W with Weather Display.

I am putting up a web site for local weather and will be looking or ideas of things to add to that as well as hints for installing my sensors.

Thanks,

RioRanchoNMWX:
Since I wrote that message I upgraded from the Honeywell to a Davis...funny how quickly things can change...

ANPweather:
Out of curiosity why such a quick upgrade?

RioRanchoNMWX:
I found that the wireless distance on the Honeywell unit wasn't strong enough to mount the devices where I needed them and still get a signal.

The Davis wireless signal is stronger and I was able to properly site the Davis by dissassembling it to get the rain bucket at 2' and the temp at 5' with the anemometer at the top of the mast.  When I moved the Honeywell temp sensor to where I wanted to mount it, it lost signal.  I also like the fact that the Davis uses solar to keep the batteries fresh so there is less chance of having to go out in the cold to swap batteries.

I ended up installing quite an eleaborate setup to allow the station to be properly sited as well as mow around it and being able to raise everything to keep it above the snow.
