It's not just that the memory map is different, the RS232 interface is different. The WS3600 uses DTR and CTS to send and receive data!

There will never be support for these stations in Cumulus.

Hello to you all, I have a La Crosse 3600, it is the worst weather station developed by the La Crosse, only problems, frankly I don't trust netheir the 3650 modell.
I replaced the LC 3650 with a LC 2300 older modell and it works perfectly in wired mode.
Congratulations Steve, my second LC 3650 works with Cumulus software flawlessly, excellent job. It rejects all bad wind data without any problems. Since I connected the station in serial mode it's OK.
For their low price LC 2300 modell is a very good aquisition.
The LC 2300 is in service since 2006.
Regards, Eugen, Oradea, Romania.

just to confirm....Is it possible to use cumulus with heavy weather or easy weather (i.e use its dat file) for a WS3600 station..

thanks

Does Easyweather work with a WS3600? If it does, and it produces an easyweather.dat file in the same format as it does when it runs with a Fine Offset station, then I guess it would work with Cumulus using the easyweather.dat setting.
