Amazon.com Product Description Whether you're riding the rapids in a whitewater kayak or reading the barometric pressure trends when the fish are rising, the Brunton ADC Pro atmospheric data center gathers and records all the key weather conditions. The ADC Pro displays such information as relative humidity, heat index, dew point, barometric pressure, and wet bulb, so you'll always know the current conditions and what's around the corner. Let your partners believe you're predicting the rain with some sort of mind-bending, supernatural powers. Brunton will take care of the science. Humidity and heat index are just a couple of the ADC Pro's vast data capabilities. The unit also measures the relative air density, altitude, temperature, wind chill, and wind speed (in km/h, mph, ft/s, m/s, or knots), along with the barometric pressure and temperature trends over the past 24 hours. More importantly, it absorbs all the data and predicts the weather over the next 12 hours, so you'll know whether to turn back from a hike or trudge on. Users will also dig the ADC Pro's multiple alarms, including an alarm that sounds when storms approach, an altitude alarm (for when users ascend too quickly), and a wind chill alarm. The ADC Pro is valuable from a training perspective as well, with an integrated chronograph, race timer, and ski run counter. Additional features include a water flow meter, a real-time clock with date information, and manual and automatic data logging. The waterproof ADC Pro, which runs on a single 3-volt lithium battery, can even transmit its information to a PC via its IR interface for further analysis. As a final bonus, the unit carries a two-year warranty. What's in the Box? ADC Pro, detachable lanyard, extra lithium battery, user's manual.

It also includes alarms for windchill, windspeed, storms and altitude. There's much more: 12/24 hour clock with time, day and date; Barometer, altimeter, relative air density, heat index, dew point and more; Data log feature and infrared data transmission to PC; Waterproof and submersible for use in wet conditions; Includes detachable lanyard for convenient carrying; Uses a CR2032 3V lithium battery (included); 2-year limited warranty.

Pretty good, but a couple of annoyances December 2, 2008 The product does mainly what it claims, and it does it well. However, there are a few niggles. Firstly, it emits a beep every time it logs a data point, and there is no way to turn this off. Secondly, it NEEDS a Brunton IR-dongle to download logs - the IrDA standard is not supported. And there are no drivers for the IR-dongle on 64-bit Vista. Thirdly, the log file format isn't documented anywhere, so there is no good way to import the information into your own application for further processing. These nits aside, the product is good. I use mine a lot, and I'm very happy with it.
Not Bad September 6, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this mainly for the barometer and anemomter features to have along for fishing and hunting trips. Both of these features work very well, as well as the hygrometer. The unit shows these in real time, tracks changes and records minimum and maximum events.
The only feature that doesn't work well is the altimeter. I don't know what theory or system is used but it isn't accurate, at least not on my unit. I can be sitting in the same place and watch the altitude go up and down without moving it. It's very seldom that it remains stable. I can understand some fluctuation +/- a couple of feet but it goes beyond that. Since the altimeter wasn't an important feature for me it's not a bother.
The unit seems to be made well and hopefully proves to be reasonably durable, which I think it will. It's a bit pricey but I got a better deal on Amazon than I found anywhere else. All in all it's not a bad little unit.

I am very pleased with my purchase, I would recommend to anyone needing weather information. I use in my volunteer job as a weather spotter.
