LongRanger Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Help! Lightning zapped my ~40 year old Heathkit ID-4001 wx station, so I'm looking a replacement. So far, I've found no unit that can substitute for the following ID-4001 features important to me: * red color digits are visible during day, but not too bright for the bedroom at night * digits large enough to be discerned from 10 feet away * wind direction and speed displayed in real time (no latency) The 4001 cost roughly $2500 in today's dollars, so I'd go that far for something with a similarly-functional display. All modern stations I see online have displays too bright for night and/or digits too small to read from a distance. I don't need lots of stats, nor wifi. Indoor/outdoor temp, baro, real-time wind, and clock will suffice. What model might be the closest to what I seek? Alternatively, does anyone repair old Heathkits?
