It all started out innocently enough. My county is giving out Davis Vantage Pro2 weather stations to certain people to host and to report data back over APRS on 144.990mhz.
I started out with a satellite dish tripod. I did not believe I was capturing all the rain, and my wind readings looked low. The solar panel alignment was suboptimal too. A quick trip to home depot and a 10ft aluminum mast and some grounding strap later I am now happy with the wx station sighting.
The wireless console is pretty great. I am not sure I set it up correctly or if the tinytrack3 reflashed with tinypack is the source of the trouble. I only have 4 broken and improperly timed packets as my clues until I return from my trip.
Ideally I can't want to run WX3IN1+ and give the local HAMs 1 more digipeater/I-GATE on 144.990mhz.
My order has been outstanding for over a week but the local reseller in Virginia still hasn't gotten it to me. Maybe I should have ordered it straight from Poland. The developer is a great guy and has answered a lot of questions I had.
