Hi Everyone
Is there anyone in the Edinburgh area with a Davis Vantage Pro weather 
station who would be willing to demonstrate it to me before I purchase one 
of my own?
Any help would be really appreciated.
I live in EH12 and am 59 years old (If that makes a difference !)

Thanks

Brian

If you're not able to see one, I found Prodata very helpful: 
http://www.weatherstations.co.uk/ - I think John Dann posts here 
occasionally.

(PS. my Vantage Pro is in Canterbury - not particualarly close to 
Edinburgh!)

Hi Jonathan
Thanks for the feedback -yes its too far !
I take it you like you VP?
Any comments i.e. go for wireless or wired etc

Thanks
Brian

Can't provide a physical demo at that distance I'm afraid, but if you
care to make contact I can certainly provide as much info/advice as
you wish. Email address in header is valid.

Davis have quite a neat simulator online here:

http://www.davisnet.com/weather/cool/Push_buttons/index.html

It really just demonstrates the console, and I guess most people (like 
me) rarely touch their consoles, preferring to use software on their PC 
instead.

You can have a look at mine if you want to pop up here :-)

Thanks anyway, Steve.
