WH1081PC discontinued at Maplins

I've managed to write to the memory (in a failed experiment to set the station clock), and I know which location holds the current interval, so I could try just writing to that to see if that's all that's needed.

That would be very helpful IMO Steve Most things can be set up on the console, but I don't think that can. It would be nice not to have to use Easy Westher.

Thanks Steve, I hope you will be able to work it out, as Gina says it would be good not to have to use Easyweather. I guess the manufacturer is not going to too helpful if you straight out asked them for details on their station. Naturally they will want people to use their software. I wonder if anyone has just plain asked them though, may work.

I've asked them. A number of people have asked on my behalf, including a retailer. No reply.
