I think that code number was the one with the radio controlled clock but there appears to be another difference if their spec is right
Rain Resolution 0.1mm
. Most likely a mistake I should think. Rain resolution is usually 0.3mm.

I asked Maplin tech. support. They told me this unit does not have the clock and also they acknowledged the rain resolution is a mistake, should be 0.3mm

Hi am new to this forum. Have been looking at setting up weather station for a while now, and being a regular visitor to Maplin just couldn't resist their offer. Got weather station home and had it together in about an hour, tried Easyweather then downloaded Cumulus and tried that. I have my station connected to my home server as that runs 24/7. Am at present looking into putting station on the web, just need to work out if it would be easier to have external hosting or if possible to host from home server. Would prefer home server but there seem to be a number of problems involved in doing so.

This is my 1st post to this forum , so thought I would
start by sharing some information with you all, that
may be of interest.
I've been looknig into getting a weather station for
about a month now, and finally bought the maplin
one today, so really looking forward to getting it.
F.Y.I.
If you use the following voucher code: secret5
you can get £5.00 off the Maplin offer which is currently
£69.99, then with the voucher code taken off is: £64.99.
Please note that the voucher code expires 22/02/2011.

Hi CaLi, thanks for that. After searching the internet and seeing the problems people have with trying to host on Windows Home Server I am reaching the concusion that Davids kind offer might just be the way to go.
