Thank you for the prompt response! and good morning. My irrigation manager is off till Tuesday. I would like to have him call Tuesday morning & you could walk him through it. That would be greatly appreciated. For now we've have programmed a default or manual E.T. of .14.
Where could we get the closest E.T. or how can we go about being more "connected" to weather stations around? Is this possible at least through the internet?
Thanks

Boy, that's a good question. Weather stations in your area...
Nevada hasn't put in a network of weather stations yet and I'm not aware of any in your area. I never know where my stations go and unless I'm troubleshooting a system I don't keep phone numbers. I'd give Cliff Cabral a call at Turf Equipment (702-491-0884) to see if he knows of any phone modem stations in your area. If I remember right you folks at the Oasis usually have temperatures a little cooler then weather stations directly around Las Vegas. Unless you have spotty cloud cover the solar radiation should be about the same.
I'm usually in the office by 8:00 AM. The other person that works with Rain Bird stations, Bruce Smith, will be doing in-house training tomorrow so I'm it.
Sorry I'm not more help.
