• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

I just discovered that Davis have released a converter that will allow you to replace the VP2 anemometer with another (more accurate) third party anemometers.

With this interface, some anemometers not manufactured by Davis Instruments can be used with the Vantage Pro2. Non-Davis anemometers must have AC voltage output signals. The frequency of the AC signal must be linearly proportional to the wind speed.

This interface has been tested with R. M. Young anemometers, model number 05103; and with NRG anemometer, model 1900 NRG #40C. However, the interface is not limited to those products.
I actually own a RMYoung 05103 Anemometer head that I use while storm chasing – the rest of the year it sits alongside the VP2 anemometer as a comparison. and I now want to press it into action as the primary wind recorder by using one of these Universal Anemometer Interface converters

Questions,
1) Suggestion where in the UK can I buy one? (is this USA only)

2) Cost?


3) Does the RMYoung 05103 still need a separate power feed
