Upgrading from Fine Offset station

Hi

I've been using a Fine Offset weather station (a Maplin one, WH1050 or WH1080, picture attached) since 2014.

I can't recall the exact cost but it was around £100.

I suspect spares for this station will be harder to source in the future so I'm looking at a whole replacement in the near future.

Does anyone have recommendations for what's on the market these days and is similar to the Fine Offset one, both in terms of functionality and price (though I'd probably go higher, up to about £200)?

Thanks.

Hi

Have a look at this one £189.95  https://www.nevadaradio.co.uk/product/watson-w-8686/

I'll be getting one of those to replace my maplin n23dq, it is also a fine offset clone. There's a thread about them here https://www.netweather.tv/forum/topic/90735-ambient-weather-ws-2000-fineoffset-hp2550/

Cheers.
