Default Weather Monitor

My favorite in-laws got me the coolest gift. It's a Wireless Radio Controlled Weather Station. It has a device that measures wind direction, speed, outside temp, humidity and indoor temp and humidity. It is wireless to an LCD screen with all the information updated every 60 seconds or so. I have a tall tower outside my house and I put it up there this morning. What a workout! It has a link where I can get an adapter to download the information to my computer or even stream it real time. Pretty cool stuff. You can check it out at Lacrosse Technology.

I'm not sure what PDL's are. It was my dads tower for HAM radio. He gave it up long ago.

Sam, Outdoor AP, or Access Point, to extend your wireless range.
Does Carrie know you went up there without a harness?

Steve, yes it does have an outdoor transmitter. I can't get it working yet though. I might have to get another extender to reach my computer.

Dave, if I can get it working, it does look really cool.
