Can anyone recommend a good quality digital barometer with a USB connection. Looked at Conex Weather Jack on www.starpath.com but the Conex web site is "under construction" so I cannot verify accuracy from manufacturers web site. I would appreciate any first hand experiances on this or similiar devices. Thanks David

Consider looking at "Oregon Scientific" Complete Wireless Weather Station WMR968. It clams to be PC compatible and comes with a solar-powered wind speed anemometer, thermo-humidity, barometer and rain gauge. May meet your needs for an onboard PC_Combatable weather monitoring station.

Just curious... The USB requirement suggests interfacing with a PC. For what reason? Logging pressure during a voyage? Norm B

That's a Euro symbol all right. Deutsmark is usually "DM"

Call the folks at Conex, per their web site: 800 645 1061. I have the parallel port Weatherjack and find it very useful and cheaper than any barograph I've seen.

Price for our digital marine barograph is indeed 295,- EURO, shipping within Germany is included.
Customers outside Germany do not pay our VAT, so the price is 254,31 exactly. Please ask for for the shipping costs to your contry sending an email at
mailto:info@bohlken.net
We always look for the cheapest carrier.
Beside the way to add a usb-cable to one of our instruments, there are on the market worldwide some electronic barometers and barographs with usb output. More or less i know them all, but i know the german/european market the best of course.
You may find one at - http://www.isy.biz (Germany) 250,- EUR - or at spi-marine (Germany) at 249,- and 289,- - or at navtronic.com (baromaus) may be not available at the moment 199,- EUR - or meteograph from Switzerland - or meteorecorder.de - in USA weather-jack
The vetus barograph (data output i don´t know) is in my opinion not available at the moment, comes from Sprecher Automation in Austria i think.
As a manufacturer i tried to be neutral listing the electronic barographs on the market. But this is still a news group and not a bazar...and i hope it will remain.
