Hi again, Looks like it will be the Oregon WMR928X. I couldn't persuade them that I was worth the Davis. Martin, you mentioned in one of your posts about 1 wire systems. Does the Oregon support this as I would like to have a lightning detector. Many thanks Dave

Martin, That did the trick Time to play ... Many thanks for your help, I'll be back ... Dave

Martin, the FTP download still seems a bit iffy. I have to press the "Test" button each time to get a download. It won't download each hour. I've done the rest - thanks ! Dave

Hi again Martin, I've used a different Metar downloader which I pointed to the wdisplay\metar directory and got a downloaded file OK. It looks like this EGUB|02/03/2008 11:13:01 PM|44.6|7|37.4|3|N/A|N/A|N/A|N/A|29.83|1010|230|8|KT|75|Mostly Cloudy|80|76 Does this look OK? I'll keep trying with the downloader in Weather Display. There are 2 small squares at the bottom of the main display just below the date & time, called Data Received and Data Quality. The Data Received is coloured red with a counter 10891 and rising. The Data Quality square is green. What is their significance? cheers Dave

Hi Martin, not sure where my previous reply went but here goes again. Tried eveything you suggested but I don't get the EGUB.met file in the directory.

Hi HebWX, I've looked at the price of the Davis and I don't think the family will see the birthday as that special So how do I download the data from Benson EGUB? thanks Dave

Thanks Glen, I've downloaded the trial version so will give it a go. regards, Dave

New to this forum so be nice My family want to get me a weather station for a "special" birthday. I like the look of the La Crosse 2500. We bought my dad one 2 years ago and he has been very happy with it. It doesn't seem to be mentioned much in the forums - any reason? I want to upload the data to a web site - can this be done? thanks
