Thanks for the help
@BSK . Most all units look like they are designed for professionals, which I am not.
I think I may have stepped in over my head with my question. I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to electronics. I do know we have a strong phone signal at the property of concern and a strong signal where we currently live, which is an hour away. So I wanted an instrument that I could place on this subject property and that would retain the wind data, so I could then "easily" download a week or more of data from that instrument only to return home, review, and document it. The purpose of this device would be twofold. (1) We intend on building a house at this location within a year or two, and the main view from the house would be looking generally east-bound, and so any slight angle of the house to help compensate and block the northern wind, among other factors, would be very beneficial. (2) There are several sites where I would like to place a food plot within view of the house, and knowledge of the wind direction during the different seasons could help dictate where I would place that food plot. No offense to other hunters, but I'm getting old, and meat is relatively important. My doctor strongly recommends deer meat in my diet more than domestic. No doubt, the unit you suggested looks like a quality piece of equipment, but I can't find in the description where it retains data for any length of time, so I will check for wifi next time I visit this property, though Im not exactly sure how. It took me forever to figure out how to attach links in different ways on this site
Anyway, my long term goal was to use the wind data to build a house, and then move the instrument further down in the holler to get accurate readings for a future plot. Im probably spinning my wheels for nothing, but I want to try just the same.
Would anyone place merit on the accuracy from this
website(s)? and
website(s)? I thought about using it, but I was also thinking there is nothing quite like getting the actual wind direction readings from near ground level for any particular site, idk.
