Our keyboards feature individual molded keys that look better, feel better and work better than cheaper, flat "membrane" keypads. But the powerful microprocessor inside is the real "key" to solving a troubling problem and much more.

They provide accurate wind gust readings. It’s relatively easy to measure the speed of a steady wind, much harder to capture high wind gusts accurately. Other systems may report errors as large as 30%, because their less capable processors only measure short-term average wind speed, missing peak gusts. But our weather stations, like the most expensive commercial systems, calculate wind speed without averaging, thus capturing high wind gusts with pinpoint accuracy.

They warn of possible local flooding. You can depend on our exclusive "Flash Flood Alert" to give you the earliest reliable warning of potential local flooding when there is sustained heavy rain. Just add Peet Bros.’ remarkable "PRO" or "TB" rain gauges shown on page 6.

Just place our patented wind sensor over the top of a TV or FM antenna mast, rotate it until the reference mark points north, and pull down the clamping ring. With no tools required and nothing to corrode, the wind sensor is easily detachable. It’s equally easy to

view its data: for current wind speed, simply tap the key showing

the anemometer icon. Then just tap the UP arrow for today’s

highest wind, the time it occurred, and today’s date. Tap it again to

see yesterday’s data, and once more for the long-term data.

The quality of the data you receive can only be as high as the quality of the sensors in your system. That’s why Peet Bros. pays a premium to bring you absolutely the best sensors available.

ULTIMETER temperature sensors are interchangeable, aged, precision thermisters. While other manufacturers encourage users to recalibrate temperature readings because their sensors aren’t interchangeable or completely stable, our systems don’t require adjusting—yet maintain an accuracy of 0.5° F—two to four times better than others!

As you’ll see on page 6, Peet Bros. offers a choice of superior rain gauges—from our self-emptying "PRO" with no moving parts and an optional heater, to our proven tipping bucket rain gauge.

Unlike other systems that only indicate a 1 hr. "trend arrow," our precision laser-calibrated sensor is so stable and accurate that we can display the numeric value of pressure change over a full 3-hour period per National Weather Service standards.

Our optional humidity sensor is a precision humidity-sensitive, polymer capacitor that has a wider sensing range than the resistive sensor that others use, so you get accurate readings, even at the all-important extremes—from 0 to 100% R.H.

A number of consumer-grade weather stations now use wireless sensors, promising faster installation. Why doesn’t Peet Bros.?

It’s because we and our customers have found that there is no substitute for the reliability and performance of cabled sensors. Although the price of our systems represents great value for everyone, we remain committed to meeting the needs of serious amateur and professional weather observers, who demand dependability and low maintenance. Professional or not, few people are likely to be really pleased with a weather station that interferes with television reception... or requires periodic replacement of back-up batteries in hard-to-reach outdoor sensors... or fails to work when the sun is blocked by prolonged periods of harsh weather or by ice and snow on the solar cells themselves. As one experienced weather observer put it, "The bitterness of intermittent data loss from wireless sensors remains long after the sweetness of faster installation is forgotten."
