Hello From Thousand Oaks California
« on: January 30, 2021, 03:15:37 AM »
I am new to the forums I came looking for help after migrating to a new Mac. I’ve had a Vantage Vue online for 10+ years now. It’s not in the best location for accurate measurements, but when you live in a planned track community you have to make compromises. I am so happy I spent allot more and got the Davis Vantage Vue , and serious upgrade from the Oregon Scientific stations I had had in the past.

Dear SteveV, Blick, and WeatherCat station caregivers,

Welcome to the WeatherCat forum! 

Thanks for taking the time to introduce yourself.

. . . I’ve had a Vantage Vue online for 10+ years now. It’s not in the best location for accurate measurements, but when you live in a planned track community you have to make compromises.

Even if you aren't in a planned community you are likely to have to make some compromises on your data collection.  It is simply part of being amateurs instead of having the extra clout of professionals.

I am so happy I spent allot more and got the Davis Vantage Vue , and serious upgrade from the Oregon Scientific stations I had had in the past.

I also upgraded to a Davis station from Oregon Scientific.  Honestly, I really needed to make that first step using a less expensive Oregon station.  I couldn't imagine spending the money for a Davis station at first.  It took that Oregon Scientific station to get me hooked.  After that, I was willing to spend the money for a Davis station!

Glad to hear that you are also a satisfied Davis owner!  By all means welcome aboard!

Cheers, Edouard  [cheers1]
