Need Help on Equipment Selection

So I've been using Cumulus 1.x for about 12 years with a Fine Offset WH-1080 variation (Replacing parts and transmitters along the way)...
I still have parts but I am out of transmitters (Mine uses the 900Mhz variety that I can't source anymore)...

So I'm looking at new equipment to purchase for use with CumulusMX (Since new stuff won't work with the Cumulus 1.x version)...
I searched around to see if there's a Station Equipment Compatibility list for CumulusMX but haven't found one? If it exists can someone point me the way? I'm in the U.S. so I would be purchasing most likely from ambientweather.com

Also is there conversion instructions for converting data from Cumulus 1.94 to CumulusMX?

Thanks.

The Ambient versions of the Ecowitt weather stations are compatible with CumulusMx.

Instructions on upgrading are here https://www.cumuluswiki.org/a/Updating_ ... grading_MX and here https://www.cumuluswiki.org/a/First_Run_of_MX

OK...Thanks for your replies...Sorry I did not respond sooner but got locked out of my account and just got back in...

Regarding the Ecowitt transmitters...Is there a specific model that works with CumulusMX that I can order from Ambient in the U.S.?

I think the Ambient model WS-2000 is the closest to my HP2551 Ecowitt and has the right Customised Weather Server to talk to CumulusMX via the HTTP.
