The WS3083 has a transmission range of up to 100m (line of site) back to the main unit which displays temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, wind, rainfall, dew point, windchill, date/time, short range forecast, UV index and light measurement.
The main unit stores up to three months worth of data with easy viewing of historic records and connects to PC via USB for downloading, charting and uploading to websites for displaying live local weather conditions (Software included).

Brilliant product, had one for 6 years and it performed flawlessly, until I decided to give it a clean. Unfortunately I got water in areas that water shouldn't be. Replaced the transmitter, a good feature that you can buy spares, but still had issues. So bought another one and vow not to use a hose to clean it. Service is brilliant and so is the product

I purchased this weather station on line and firstly was most impressed with the quick service and receipt of the station.
It was reasonably easy to assemble and install for a "new comer". I have not connected the computer history yet, but assume this will work as per description.

Bought this for my husband's birthday. He loves it. My husband decided to install it on the day of his birthday and all the children and grandchildren helped. All seems to be working well so far.

My wife bought me this station for my birthday. I am delighted with it. It has been collecting data now for just short of 3 weeks and gives a fascinating insight into the "local" weather in my garden. Easy to set up and extremly accurate, i would recomend this to anyone with an interest in the weather.

Bought this to replace an old system which recently failed, A big improvement, and the software is a big advantage.

Great value for money, a top weather station. The Aercus Instruments WS3083 is my second station, I also have a Technoline WS2350 (also known as a La Crosse WS2350). I bought the WS3083 because I wanted the addition of the UV/Light sensors which is hard to find. The WS3083 ticks all the boxes and is an impressive piece of kit for the price. It's every bit as good as the Technlone plus it has UV/light and a bigger data logger. Here's some tips:
The wind direction sensor has a small `N' `S' `E' `W', on the base so make sure you line those up with North, South, East West otherwise you will introduce an error into your wind direction readings.
The best batteries to use are good quality Lithium batteries. Alkaline are good too as long as it doesn't get too cold. Rechargeable batteries cause lots of problems as they are only 1.2V so avoid those unless you want signal fade.
The WS3083 has quite long cables for the sensors to allow you to mount the wind and rain gauges separately (wind sensors like unobstructed wind and rain sensors work best sheltered from the wind and lower to the ground). An ideal setup would be the transmitter sited under an eave, the wind sensors on the roof, and the rain gauge sheltered from the wind but not obstructing any rain. The reality though is that a lot of stations get mounted on roofs or corner fence posts which is often the best compromise and works fine for most users (including me).
I highly recommend you connect up to Weather Underground so you can see your weather station readings on your smartphone or tablet.
You can't beat the WS3083 for functionality and price, an excellent station.
