Does anyone have any experience with an airmar weather station like the 220WX or similar. The little white things that look a bit like GPS antennas. I'm wondering if i can use one in lieu of a masthead wind instrument.
It's a long story but essentially the mast needs to come out for me to fit a new wind sensor and run the cable, I'm thinking one of these little airmar gizmos mounted on the pushpit or the stern antenna pole might be a quicker, easier and slightly cheaper solution. When the mast head unit does eventually get installed the airmar would potentially serve as a useful backup.

Any thoughts appreciated.

cheers
