Spent a week on Aruba a few decades ago. That one's pretty extreme. Guess I've bent a bit since then too.
Got my computer back today. Installed the software, but have not done much with it so far. It does import the information so you can have a history but I'm not sure of the immediate value of it all. I guess I should read the instructions.
When all else fails:-))

CD's are still sitting here unopened. As I said, the only reason I got the TD vs TB is it was less expensive because of the "flaw". I never did find the flaw. Looked briefly for it but if I have to look that hard then it doesn't matter. Maybe when later when I'm finalized with the setup.
I moved my thermometer/base unit today. Location was not good. Too close to things that would affect it like vents and siding. Although it was in the shade 99% of the time the the 10 feet of siding below it got baked in the afternoon. That heat rises up to the soffit area where the unit sensor was. Got a roll of phone wire and move the unit 35' to one side of the house that never gets sun because of trees and direction (grass almost impossible to grow there). Still under a soffit about 8' off the ground and the siding is always ambient. The opposite side of the siding is an unheated storage area. Temp seems very solid now.
Had to use phone line couplers because one end of the wind and rain sensors is hard wired into them and the other is a modular connector. Couplers are protected under the soffit but I'll have to find a good way to seal them. I see online that 3/4" dia shrink wrap is made. Have to see if it's available at the Borg or Radio Shack.
Could not figure out why my relative pressure was consistantly high compared to the NWS Ft Bragg station that is probably only a mile from here. Oh, duhhh, you initially ahve to set the relative pressure for your location. Very small blip about it, item 3 on pg 10 (PWS-1000TD) of the manual.

Guessed I missed that...this thing is actually hardwired, not telemetry? That'd pretty much eliminate it for my application methinks...

Partially wired.
Look at the pic of it.
The temp sensor monitors other stuff and does the wireless transmitting. If everything is on the mast then it's just plug & play.
If you need the temp sensor/transmitter more than 10' away from the gauges then you have to extend the cables using std phone line couplers and std 4 wire phone cord. The length depends on how far away you need it.

p.s.
If you're not close to an NWS station, find your elevation someplace and convert to set the unit.
Oh, OK, thanks for the explanation -- w/ my dialup as slow as it is, I didn't take the time to reload the page itself.
Hmmm...I'll have to think about whether I think there's a single useful spot to put the sucker...

re: Spent a week on Aruba a few decades ago
How many is a few? I spent a week there in 81.
I worked for a bank (part time - one day a week) There was a district wide competition to sell some kind of product and our branch won. The whole branch, plus one guest each, went to Aruba for 5 days with the only cost being the bar tab.
I remember that they put the trip down as "income" and it ended up being about a third of my salary for that year!
I took a friend from college - it was actually our 3rd date. I guess it was good idea...we've been married for 26 years.

Somewhere in that timeframe. Met two couples there that we spent time with - Pete & Pat and Ed and Donna.
