The most flexible weather instrument available opens up a world of color-based reporting. Customize the Beacon to track any of a dozen different channels: up to 5-day weather forecasts, sailing, surfing, and more.


The Ambient Beacon automatically tunes in to to the local weather forecast for the day.
