[wxqc] Wireless Vantage Pro Reception Problems

[Bobby Lentz]

My Vantage Pro started doing the same thing...................mine is about 
400' away in a pasture and I had to add two solar repeaters but it too was 
working fine.   First thing I did was replace the battery at the station 
itself because it is only rated to last about a year (I got over 2 on 
mine)........then the problem persisted............I called Davis and they 
sold me a retro fit thing for about $90.00 that was easy to 
install...................it seems the original design was allowing 
moisture build up inside the outside unit and this was their 
fix...........since I installed that it works 100% again.

Turns out mine had corrosion problems due to this moisture build up.
