Hi,

Just did a Google search and found some info and illustrations of the PCE-FWS20. It physically looks like my Fine Offset WH-1081. I therefore deduce that it is just a rebadge.

Bob

edit: And that includes the packaging. Even the illustrations on the box are the same.

Thanks Bob!

I agree with you!, also I found this link:

http://www.pce-iberica.es/manuales/manu ... -fws20.pdf

Look at the page 19 & 24, there is several screen shots of the Easy Weather package, so I can conclude her compatibility with Cumulus.

Marco

Yes, a good way to check whether a station is a Fine Offset clone which works with Cumulus is:

1. Look at the supported devices list. The PCE-FWS20 is listed.
2. Does it look like one - http://www.foshk.com/en/products/index.asp?id=15
3. Does it come with Easyweather?
4. If you actually have one - just try it with Cumulus on the Fine Offset setting.

I have my station from PCE.

Its actually from Fine Offset.
Comes with Easyweather and runs perfectly with Cumulus.
