Suggestions for new station.
Posted: Sun 30 Jul 2017 2:33 pm
I have a Maplin branded Fine Offset WH1081.
It's now over 3 years old and from what I've read it's probably reaching the end of its life.
Batteries in the sender unit have always been a pain, regularly losing connection with the console, I've partially solved the problem by using tin foil packing to give a snugger fit.
I still lose connection at least once a week, but now have sorting it out down to a fine art!
The console is connected to an old pc which acts as a server using Cumulus to publish to the web via my own site.
I have a budget of around £200, but have no idea of what to look at.
To get the ball rolling perhaps?

But, I can not see any mention of connecting to a pc.
Ideally I want something exactly the same as I have now, same features etc, but more reliable.
The more I read reviews, the less enthusiastic I get, no models seem to get more than 3 stars.
p.s. Cumulus has been brilliant, it's not let me down in 3+ years.
