Thanks for the info. That sounds like an easy addition. > Mine's about 6 feet away from my IGate antenna. There's not much > activity on it right now, though.

My current WX station (Lacrosse Ws-2310) has the anemometer / wind vane about 10 feet away from an antenna that's running a fairly active digi. The IGate does far less transmitting and it's on the opposite corner of the house. The rain gauge is on the ground and about 25 feet or more below the digi antenna. However, the "outdoor unit" (temperature, humidity, barometer) is right at the base of the mast that supports the digi antenna. I put ferrite beads (from you) on all of the cables. They seemed to take care of the false wind readings. The rain gauge was OK for a while, but then started showing ridiculously high readings even when it was dry out. I've been meaning to move it for a while to see if it "fixes" the problem. Looking forward to the ADS-WS1 too! 73 es cul - Keith VE7GDH -- "I may be lost, but I know exactly where I am!"
