Soil moisture sensor Options

[Adomas]

Hi all,

I am interested in using Davis soil moisture sensor. As far as I know, it could be connected to the wireless Davis VantagePro only. Does anyone know the possibilities of using this or similar sensor in cabled hardware (sensor+logger) instead and with reasonable price? I am planning measurements for scientific purpose in forest soil, therefore the cabled hardware fits me more in comparison to wireless one. Looking at the other hand, the price for the station in USA fits to my budged, but in Europe, where I live, the unit will cost perhaps twice the domestic price in USD
