In our testing, we achieved an incredible four
miles (6.4 km) of transmission distance using
two of our long-range repeaters with Yagi
antennas. We can’t promise that you’ll achieve
quite the same results, since range is highly
variable depending on antenna height, the terrain
and foliage, buildings and other man-made
structures, and RF interference. But we still
think you’ll be impressed! Ideal for agricultural or
research applications where long distances are an
issue. AC-powered model includes power adapter
and lithium backup battery. Solar-powered model
includes solar panel and lithium backup battery.
Antennas are sold separately.

Ideal for most applications. Uses the same dipole
antenna found on all of our wireless stations.
Range is up to 1,000 ft. (300 m) outdoors, line
of sight. Typical range through walls under most
conditions is 200 ft. to 400 ft. (60 to 120 m).
AC-powered model includes power adapter. Solar-
powered model includes solar panel and lithium
backup battery.

For longer distances or to improve reception in troublesome areas, add one or more wireless
repeaters. Use repeaters in a daisy chain, retransmitting from a single Vantage Pro2 or
Vantage Vue Integrated Sensor Suite or special-purpose station. Or build a network of
repeaters and wireless stations, with some repeaters listening to multiple stations, each
with their own unique ID. For use with any Davis wireless transmitter and receiver.

For use with our long-range repeaters. Each
repeater requires two antennas: one to receive
data, and another to retransmit it. Omni antennas
transmit or receive in all directions. Yagi antennas
transmit or receive from a single direction, but
have a longer transmission distance. Mix and
match to suit your needs, using the table above.

Note: FCC regulations require that U.S. customers select
from the antennas above; customers outside the U.S.
must purchase third-party antennas in compliance with
local regulations.

* Dipole antennas are found on all of our wireless weather stations and on our standard repeaters.
** Typical distance will be less. Outdoors, line of sight with minor obstructions or interference, typical distance is
about 50–80% of the maximum. Through walls or in areas with high RF interference, typical distance may be as
low as 20–40% of the maximum.
