Hi,
Well its morning here in UK as I type. Located between Guildford and Woking in Surrey SE UK (Inland, 100'amsl at 50?N 0?W), I've been a Davis VP2 (Vantage Pro 2 6162UK) user for around 8 years. In terms of durability, I had a warranty replacement of the console as the LCD screen developed a bleed on the screen. I had to replace the OV transmitter replacement module and on two occasions the anemometer reed switches. I have been on a another weather forum but as this one is for Mac users here I am! My next post will describe how to replace the anemometer reed switches about which I haven't seen anything much posted.
