Title: WMR 300 - Wind Sensor reading erratically
Post by: Squatcher on September 01, 2021, 08:44:56 AM

Has anyone had issues with their WMR 300 wind sensor reading erratically? Mine has started reading at a stand still gusts up to 50 & 60 mph and I have had to reset the transmitter multiple times to reset it to clear the erroneous information and a few weeks later it is reading high again.

Secondly, is there anywhere to purchase replacement parts if my sensor has gone bad?

Has anyone replaced theirs out with a non-Oregon Scientific model and how has it faired?

I have been experiencing a similar issue.  Gust up to 50 - 60 mph for periods then return to working fine.

Did you ever find a solution?

Nope, I would reboot the system and it would work for awhile and then I would suddenly find that I am seeing gale force winds being noted by the wind speed indicator. So, I unplugged it and tried to find a new one, but they are no where to be found.

Thanks.  Finally replaced whole station with Vantage Pro 2 which now works fine.
