I have always been fascinated with meteorology and having a personal weather station such as the AcuRite 1512 was too tempting to pass up. It arrived just as our last (I hope) snow storm arrived delayed my installing it, but had the benefit of forcing me to study the use and installation guides.
With improving weather today, I got down to putting it up. I had a good spot picked out on the upper member of a pergola, about 12 feet high, in our backyard, which met most of the criteria of a best location; away from metallic structures, walls, buildings, etc. Namely, as far out in the open as possible but staying within the 330 feet (100m) limit of the transmitter in the remote unit to contact the base station. (The National Weather Service recommends an ideal height of 33 feet above the ground!). The location was chosen with the periodic need to replace dead batteries with some convenience, so some compromise was required here.
The install was quick and easy. Less than 45 minutes for me, with some walking around getting a few tools, ladder, etc. The location from the remote unite to my base unit (wall mounted) is approximately 75 feet so the base unit is reporting receipt of a strong signal. The base unit is bright, colorful easy to set up and read. Unlike other owners, I have had no problem of viewing the unit. The unit is easy to read from all angles and up to a distance of 15 feet away.
So far, so good. As the unit requires two weeks to complete its "learning", becoming familiar with your altitude, and general environment, it will not provide detailed and site accurate weather reporting until this period is completed.
I will report back in a few months to share my experience with everyone. -

Bought this as a gift for my FIL because he loves to track the weather but the cheap monitors seemed to break every 6 months. He said that "he likes it" (which is great praise from him LOL) The display is very nice, bright with big numbers. The weather ticker(?) was easy to install and is accurate. Would recommend. -
