Gee you guys are really doing some good work here, very impressive. As you might recall I gave up with the Watson and got a Origon 928 on eBay for £150 from Germany. Must admit that the transaction was smooth, the only downside was that the PSU was Euro and the 'radio time' is set at UTC +2, still for the price I'm not complaining.

The set up is working faultlessly, the only thing left to do is construct a Davis screen for the external temp. It won't be as exotic as Betel's stainless steel masterpiece, just a wooden box with slats etc. Will see how that does.

Thanks to all for the very interesting read.

Cheers Noel
