- Radio Shack has had a remote reading Weather Station with indoor display
and connections to a computer.  It was listed for $299 in last catalog I
have '97.  No indication of how far it can be remoted.  Provides Wind, Temp,
Pressure, Rainfall, Rel Humidity.  Also software for providing various
displays and analysis.  I also believe the magazine Electronics Now had
plans for a station, but can't seem to locate it just now.  They may have
searchable  index at www.gernsback.com. The Nov. '97 issue had a hot-wire
solid state anemometer.  You might want to take a look.
