The one in the Froggit picture does not have the mesh under the ultrasonic sensors like the Ecowitt one does. Ecowitt did this to help with wind readings in heavy rain.

I don't know what hardware revision of the WS80 Froggit are selling right now.
If they got a recent fresh delivery from Fine Offset, it may be the latest revision.
The earlier models were not (yet).
I'd call them and ask them if the WS80 (the ultrasonic 6-in-1 array ! - they may not be familiar with the original FO/EW names) still has the power supply for the ultrasonic heater only or if the whole array can be run on a power supply (like the WS90 array of the Wittboy) for the cable coming out of the array. That's the criterion.
Old revision - heater only.
New revision - whole array.

The mesh on the wind entries of the ultrasonic sensor portion is another criterion.

In order to be sure to get the latest hardware revision, you will have to order at Ecowitt.
