Anybody here have a Davis Instruments weather station?

Received recently, works locally, having some difficulty maintaining
link to the Weather Underground (www.wunderground.com) website
apparently related to keeping time synch.

Couldn't find a group that seemed to have the subject; Davis appears not
to have a forum of their own for some inexplicable reason so thought I'd
see if anybody here has any experience or knows of a more suitable
forum. (Did find one web-based that looked useful but half-dozen failed
attempts at registering ran me off... )

You don't say what station you are using or what software. I assume
it is a Vantage Pro 2 and you are using WeatherLink. There are lots
of forums out there covering these devices. The Davis site, itself,
has a lot of information. Make sure you go the correct site, though.
www.davisnet.com is their site. www.davis.com is NOT. One forum I
use is the Yahoo vantagepro group. It is active from time to time,
but not in the last few weeks.

Regarding your actual problem, I use a number of weatherlink features
including uploading to my own website, but I have never tried
uploading to weather underground.

Sorry, mea culpa...

Vantage VUE w/ Weatherlink

Regarding DavisNet, this is the link I found...

http://www.davisnet.com/support/weather/

It has a FAQ section which didn't seem to address the question other
than pass the buck. I didn't find any user interactive forum link; did
I miss it?

If there are some other forums I'd appreciate any link(s) you're aware
of. As said, my search found only one and it's signup/registration page
defeated my patience. It did have a number of similar related
queries on the link w/ Wunderground but not the specific symptoms quite
that I'm seeing.

I'm not terribly interested in posting a page of my own I think altho I
supposed that would be a possibility I have no interest in keeping up
anything and was just looking for the link for the grandkids who are far
away to see what the farm conditions are and it's the site I typically
use otherwise...

How about WXForum.net? Which one did you try? There are also forums
for some of the competing software like www.weather-display.com. They
sometimes discuss other software (although it usually what they
dislike about it).

It occurs to me, Wunderground, which I assume you are referring to,
has some rather stringetnt requirements, not jes letting any ol'
tom/dich/harry become an included station. We have an iffy station
listed on Wunderground which is sometimes online and other, not. Not
reassuring and not sure why Wunderground keeps them.

That said, I hope you get it sorted out, as I think the more stations,
the better. I also hope yer station equipment holds up. For the
price, I've heard some rather discouraging feedback on Davis and am no
longer enamored with that option. For ppl considering an equipment
purchase, a rather unlikely, but not suprising, review source is ham
radio fans. Check it out:

For what it's worth, WXForum.net worked for me using IE 9.

I think you have to download to weather underground.
