I too run the Vantage Pro 2, however, mine connects to a Raspberry Pi 2, which send data to NWS as well as Weather Underground, then my own serial connection to a 2-meter rig which reports to APRS. All the info to do this was found online. It just depends on how much reporting you want to do.
Good luck! Michael K6MLE On September 3, 2018, at 14:16, Steven Morrison <[email protected]> wrote: I've been running a Davis Vantage Pro 2 for about 6 years, and it has been dependable. It's definitely not cheap, but it's been reporting to the NWS all that time. In default configuration, it wants to connect to a Windows PC, or possibly an Apple system, but there are other independent software packages that can read the weather data and publish to other data streams like APRS. Things I'd do differently: 1. Avoid the Davis Instruments USB data logger. Go with the serial interface and a PC based USB converted. The Davis USB converter is sensitive to noise, and requires someone to reset the USB driver too often. It may runs for weeks without issues, but then it stops transfer of data to the PC and has to be manually reset. 2. Check out the Davis IP (Internet Protocol) data logger. It sounds as though this can push data directly to other IP addresses or web pages. Good Luck!
