208 - Home Weather Stations - a podcast by Phil Lichtenberger

Scanning goes beyond hearing what comes across the radio.  Sometimes we need to take clue on what to listen to by what is happening around us.

Having a personal weather station can help us tune into emergency communications that might be happening right outside our doors.

Today, we will cover what to look for when selecting a weather station, what your options are, and what mistakes I have made with prior weather stations I have owned in the past.

What You Need To Know

• There are many options when it comes to picking a personal weather station.
• You should have an idea of what type of readings you will want to collect, such as temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, or rain fall.
• Many home water stations also collect more advanced data such as soil moisture, UV, and solar radiation.
• Not all home weather stations include a display.  Some only work with smart apps or smart home devices.
• There is a weather station for every budget and need.
