So if I buy the regular Davis data logger it will work? Will it show a full normal weather APRS string with wind, gust,rain temp, humidity,baro, ect? How/where do I set the transmission rate for the weather data? Has it proven to be very reliable? This is going on a 8000ft mountain where it can not easily be touched for many months during the winter. My dead line for setup is in June so I have some time to work bugs out here.
Getting the other data logger would be cheaper for me at this point then buying a KPC3 and a radio to make this system work for the remote weather station. I really like the T2 radio package for this application, I hope I can still use it.
