Will never happen. We have tried many times. If you guys want a new sensor to replace the FUBAR PAG sensor we will have to do it ourselves. This would be the best seabreeze sensor if it were in a better location.

But hey, according to ikitesurf (and I heard this face to face last year), PAG works just fine right? Can you spot PAG sensor on this map? I bet you can. :roll:

Like I said Tom, hope it works out! It would be great, just not holding my breath after hearing about this for the umpteenth time... :roll:

Well, bayflite says he'll kick in $40. I'm broke, but will donate programming and a web hosting + script which can be pulled into the local websites. Hell I'll even make it draw a graph like ikite, over an underlay of the previous day and email you when it hits 10+.

But, that still leaves us $200 short.

I’ve continued to try to work with ikite and have gotten them permission to install a sensor at the tampa baywatch building. It is the last building on the right before you get to the Fort Desoto toll booth. They said it was a good spot, but we’ll see if anything happens. I’m next to broke too, but I do have a new Davis weather wizard III station minus the sensor. I’m willing to donate it to the cause. List price on the sensor is $120. I think the console power supply and junction box I have will provide serial output of wind speed and direction. I’ll throw it in the car and Tom can check it out to see if it does what we need.

I have always said I am good for 200 bucks and nothing has changed.

Well there we have it. Unimog has a console, and Scott and Bayflite are open to donating, and I (and Colin) can whip the hardware into working order and do the programming to set up the interface->website.

Unimog, let me know when/where I can pick up that console and what type of sensor we need for it.
