Title: Who Needs/wants a weather station?
Post by: iomkiwi on August 19, 2012, 08:22:36 PM

I have been offered a weather station to pass on to anybody that might need/want one. It is a "Digitech professional wireless weather station with computer interface" so it is just a cheap chinese clone - but the price is right.

Anyone who is interested let me know - if there is too much interest we might have to have a competition for it  :D

What price are you looking for, I might have a home for it in Gisborne if the price is right

The price is nothing - somebody up here ended up with two thanks to an insurance stuff up, has asked me if I know of anyone that would like it.

I would prefer it goes into an area that is not already well covered on our map and that it is hooked up to a PC so that it can contribute to the map.

Sorry cannot help you with the West Coast.  The person I was thinking of is in Richmond, however they could not keep their weather station online fulltime as they off grid.  I will let you know if I hear of anyone on the West Coast.

I'm going to pick up the station this weekend, at this stage you could say you are definitly in the running Phil  ;)
So unless someone from one of those big holes on the west coast sticks their virtual hand up.....

Well I now have the station here, box has been opened but unit looks unused. I think everything is there but there were a couple of nuts/bolts floating around in the box so can't guarantee.... - if there are some missing you can ask for a refund I guess  ;D

Send me a PM with an address to send it to Phil.
