Suggestions for replacement for Maplin N96GY (Fine Offset)

As others have noted, the Maplin N96GY/Fine Offset loses contact with the sensors periodically. The only cure I have found is to remove batteries/reset and set up again. Of course you lose any stored data during this process. One of the Cumulus updates went a long way to reduce this problem but has not eliminated it. Mind you, for around £50 the Maplin is very good value.

However I am think of upgrading my station and would welcome suggestions. I know that some stations run into many hundreds if not thousands of pounds and these are outside my current resources.

Can anyone suggest a suitable upgrade that won't break the bank and is reliable?

Regards
Simon

You don't say what your budget is, but I would recommend a Davis vantage Vue.
Around 300 for the unit, plus about 60 (iirc) for a third party usb PC interface/logger.
