Hi John: Yes, you can learn more about the Oregon Scientific weather station at www.ambientweather.com They also have the best price for it at $214.00. Its retale is $495.95. Again, the model number is: WMR-968. I really am having a lot of fun with it! 73 Lowell ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Miller" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2005 10:39 AM Subject: Re: W8QIY's new weather station, blind accessable > Is there any place we might be able to look at it? a web site with info on > it or anything? sounds interesting. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Lowell Miller" <[log in to unmask]> > To: <[log in to unmask]> > Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2005 10:23 AM > Subject: Re: W8QIY's new weather station, blind accessable > > > Hi Tom: > > The weather station is an Oregon Scientific Model WMR 968. > It is a completely wireless system with rain gage, wind direction and speed > and tempature. > It also measures barametric praesure. > The unit itself does not have speech but it connects to the computer by a > com port and with Window-eyes, I can read everything. > I am using a free program called, > FreeWX-WI > to get the info on the internet. > I hope this answers most of your questions. > If not, please ask me again. > 73 > Lowell W8QIY > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "T Behler" <[log in to unmask]> > To: <[log in to unmask]> > Sent: Tuesday, November 01, 2005 10:56 PM > Subject: Re: W8QIY's new weather station, blind accessable > > > > Lowell: > > > > Can you give us info about this weather station you have? > > > > What is the make and model number?
