User questions & answers

Question: Would it measure the speed of a one second burst of air out of an air gun ie. spray nozzle when set to "gust" mode? What if that air was a very moist aerosol
Answer: I have used mine for sometime now and so far it seems to measure just about anything you try, so I believe it would be able to read a burst of air from an air gun.
Question: How well does this hold up in marine environment
Answer: This is the same unit I purchased and it has an OFF mode. Hold the set button until it scrolls through wind speed and temperature to OFF. Bingo, you got it turned off.
Question: what batteries does it take
Answer: It takes a 3V CR2032 lithium cell battery, which is included. It is supposed to last about a year. You can buy extras here http://www.amazon.com/Instapark-ECR2032-Lithium-Battery-Electronics/dp/B00LBOXLLY/ref=sr_1_2?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1433800768&sr=1-2&keywords=3V+CR2032+lithium+cell+battery or places like a Walmart.
Question: Will this work for measuring air velocity out of heat and AC vents
Answer: I think it should work, yet I have never tried it like that. THe meter will see ~1 to 2mph air flow.

Ambient Weather WM-5 Handheld Weather Meter w/Windspeed, Temperature, Humidity, Dew Point, Heat Index, Pressure, Altitude

Based on 32 reviews Check latest price

Product description

The Ambient Weather WM-5 allows you to track weather in the palm of your hand! Radio/TV reports cover a large area, but WM-5's data is specific to your location. It measures wind speed, wind direction, temperature, relative humidity and compass direction, and calculates wind gust, dew point, wet bulb and dry bulb temperature, Delta T, wind chill and heat index. The Honeywell humidity sensor and the Swiss-made barometer can be easily re-calibrated and the unit has a weather alert if the barometric pressure rises or falls 6 millibars over 3-hrs.



The jack knife case design protects the unit, and allows you to hold the case while taking precise temperature meaurements, avoiding false readings from your hand temperature. The WM-5 can be tripod-mounted and accessories include a wind tunnel for very accurate directional measurements, replacement impeller, soft belt carrying case, and humidity calibration kits to insure the humidity is within specified range.



The wind meter measures 5.9 x 2.1 x 0.85 in and features an ergonomic design, built in backlight, neck lanyard, and soft carrying case. CE Certified & RoHS Compliant.



Specifications:

  • Wind Speed Range: .4-89 MPH
  • Temperature Range: +5° to +122°F
  • Relative Humidity Range: 0 - 99%
  • Wind Chill Range: -22° to +158°F
  • Heat Index Range: +69.8 to +155.8°F
  • Dew point Range: -20° to +158°F

  • User questions & answers

    Question: The chart says is does wet bulb temperature but the description says nothing about that. Does it display wet bulb temp
    Answer: No, it does not. We will get the chart corrected. The WM-4 does:http://www.amazon.com/Ambient-Weather-WM-4-Temperature-Psychrometer/dp/B00540I7WORegardsEd
    Question: Hello could anyone tell me if this device measures the Density Altitude ?? Thank you
    Answer: It measures pressure altitude, not density altitude. There is a slight difference. Pressure altitude is based on pressure and temperature. Density altitude is a function of pressure, temperature and humidity.
    Question: Can the altitude be measured in feet? Or is it meters only
    Answer: feet, it is all metric or all standard measurements.
    Question: How accurate is it? How happy are you with it after using it for a while
    Answer: Used it for an ocean navigational training expedition back in May 2014. Determined the anemometer, thermometer, etc. were accurate. But what we didn't do is try it 6 times a day in snow and rain for a month, drop it on deck, and shove it in a wet pocket between times. So I don't have positive data as to its ruggedness.

    User questions & answers

    Question: Can you use a fire stick antenna with this unit
    Answer: Jeff: Yes you can. You must use detach the flexible portable antenna, attach the provided vehicle 12 volt power source, and then attach the external antenna to the unit.
    Question: are there handle bar mounts for the radio for motorcycle
    Answer: The only one I've found was was from J@M model PACB-409-15. And they have a high opinion of it. I slightly modified an ARKON mount with the small pouch. I cut down the belt clip to fit in the bracket on dry days and use the pouch on wet days.
    Question: There are many magnetic car mount antennas offered....can you suggest the cheapest yet most effective antenna to go with this unit
    Answer: Remember your antenna is the most important part of your radio station.. Go with the Sirio Performer 5000, absolutely one of the best antennas you can get for the money.. You get what you pay for.. I've been a radio operator for over 50 years..
    Question: So with the adapter, you can plug the radio into something and it will use your car antenna or some other antenna and get further range? How far
    Answer: Your antenna is the most important aspect in getting good range on your CB. For the beginner, your best bet is to buy the Midland 18-2442, Center Load Mag Mount Mobile CB Radio Antenna, available on Amazon for $19.99. It works perfectly with the Midland 75-822 unit. The magnetic base is strong enough to stay put until you remove it. It should be centered on the roof of your car, or truck cab, to radiate the best signal.

    User questions & answers

    Question: How hard is it to use? Just press a few buttons or do you have to know the frequencies you're looking for
    Answer: no but trust me this is very usefull for keyboard and to keep your desk and montors dust free
    Question: do I need to know the frequency for my local police dept
    Answer: I also have an expensive monitor and I can ensure you that this is very soft and will not scratch it.
    Question: The BC75XLT says it's the newer model compared to the BC125AT....so any ideas as to why is the former less expensive
    Answer: yes
    Question: Buying for my husband. How would I know if our Fire Dept. has changed to digital
    Answer: The bristles are VERY soft but it MIGHT flick them out if they're not stuck. Be smart, stop clipping your fingernails over your keyboard, you're going to damage it then have to spend money to replace it. Put a small trash bin next to your desk and clip your nails over the trash bin.

    Kestrel 2500 Weather Meter, Orange

    Kestrel

    Based on 21 reviews Check latest price

    Product description

    The Kestrel 2500 Pocket Weather Meter comes packed with function. Its measures wind (current/max/average/chill) and temperature (air/water/snow) with total accuracy, and has the added benefits of an air pressure sensor that provides altitude and barometric information, enabling you to follow changes in air pressure that help predict the weather. Factor in the 2500's digital altimeter, and you have most of the weather information you need for outdoor activities ranging from model airplane flight to rifle practice. The 2500 is individually calibrated, and features a backlit screen, patented impeller and sensor technology, and a quick-response external temperature sensor. The rugged design features a protective cover, is fully waterproof and floats (IP-67), and is drop-tested to MIL-STD-810F standards. The 2500 is also made for easy maintenance - no tools are required and the impeller is user-replaceable. The design and function of the Kestrel 2500 make it a valuable tool for military use and for outdoor enthusiasts. Backpackers, climbers and skiers can use the barometric pressure and dew point temperature to help predict weather trends, and the wind chill and heat stress index sensors can warn of dangerous conditions for long-term exposure. Hunters know that wind speed affects how well animals can hear and smell, and for most game, activity levels will also rise or fall along with barometric pressure. A Kestrel 2500 can help track weather trends and give you current conditions so you can plan when and where to hunt. And predicting when the fish will bite is easier when you know the weather too - rising or falling pressure increases fish activity, and you can measure water temperature by simply submerging the unit and hitting "hold" to save the temperature. Coin cell battery and lanyard included. The Kestrel 2500 is proudly designed and manufactured in the USA, and is backed by a 5-year warranty.
