Just to warn you, we have a Davis wireless at home and the wind vane was fried by a lightning strike to a power pole (blew the top 5' off the pole) about 100' from the weather station. The vane moved, but the station always showed wind from the north. All the other components of the station were fine. So the wireless aspect of it doesn't make it impervious. Perhaps the people at Davis would have some ideas with regards to protection.
