Belated congratulations Steve!!   

My station is also looking very weary . . . . . .    Alas too many balls in the air to take this one on at the moment.

The anemometer is not at the correct height, and the trees have some effect on the wind strength. But there's really no good place to mount it. Even when it was on the roof at the specified 33 feet, it had large trees north and west of it.

Done, and reporting good data!

Time to refurbish our Davis Instruments Vantage Pro 2 Plus! It’s been nearly 15 years since new, and other than batteries, I’ve only replaced the solar panel, supercap, and anemometer.

Cleaned, assembled, and functioning properly.  I didn’t install the anemometer yet, as I’m going to get a coupler and taller pipe to mount it correctly. But everything thing else seems to be great.

New circuit board
New rain collector
New racing tipping unit
New temperature/hygrometer sensor

Thanks to Ryan at Scaled Instruments for getting me sorted!

Problem solved: I have a pile or replacement parts for my current VP2 Pro plus from Scaled Instruments. After a couple of conversations with Ryan, I decided that I'd rather spend a bit more than the cost of a Vantage Vue or Ecowitt system to repair my much more accurate VP2.

Thanks for the input,
Steve

I guess the bots have switched their focus from WXForum.net to you, Stu. 

I had to engage CloudFlare (free) to mitigate the attacks .. keep that in the back of your mind in case the bots get too onerous.

Best of luck,
Ken
