The enhanced PB150
Ultrasonic WeatherStation®
Instrument features higher-accuracy temperature
readings and
improved wind speed and direction accuracy.
WeatherCaster? PC Software version
2.0 puts your own personal weatherman on-board
the boat, 24 hours a day. The
easy-to-use program has multiple screen views and
advanced setup features to
customize what you want to see. No Computer on
board?no problem, just connect
the PB150 to a NMEA 0183 display for
up-to-the-minute weather information.
Before Leaving the Dock ?
Decide if you
want to spend your day on the
water. Anticipate weather fronts by checking the
wind speed and direction,
temperature, and barometric pressure. Check the
weather history graphs, as the
WeatherCaster? Software can store readings for up
to 72 hours.
Underway ? Monitor
up-to-the-minute
weather conditions at your
location. See where and when the fish will bite
best based on wind conditions
and a rising or falling barometer.
Docking ? The on-board PC
or chart
plotter can display true wind data
to make docking a vessel in high wind a breeze.
By combining Furuno?s popular
RD30 Nav Data
Repeater with the PB150 Weather
Station, you can now display important weather
information in a large,
easy-to-read format. As an added bonus, the PB150
has been fitted with an
internal compass as well as a state-of-the-art
Furuno GPS sensor, allowing you
to utilize the PB150 as a backup GPS
navigator.
