[wxqc] New contributor - Rain does not appear to be getting uploaded

[Gary Oldham]

Not having had rain since installing the new version of WeatherLink, I can't vouch for it working.  But my previous versions of WeatherLink have "properly" reported rainfall.  I don't have any theories as to why yours may not be.

It has rained at the station location in the past 45 minutes or so.  I've been reading the posts about the the Beta release of Weatherlink.  I felt as a new user, it might be best to figure out what I have presently before moving onward. -Tom-

Most software for the Vantage Pro reports gusts, EXCEPT for WeatherLink. Davis just released a new Beta version of WeatherLink (5.6) that does report gusts.

On the page to which you sent the link, most stations that are showing something for rainfall are actually reporting some rainfall. I noticed in my quick glance only one station actively reporting 0/0 for rainfall and rain rate. Rain reporting is something that's all over the map with the different software for the Vantage Pro. I suspect that the blanks in those fields are OK if no rainfall has occurred or is occuring.

I'm a new user and data contributor. If you click on the supplied link below, you'll go to a page that lists all of the nearby wx stations. Me, K3GM is listed at the top. You'll notice that the boxes for rain and gust are blank while other stations have "0" in them. Is my station, a Vantage Pro II not reporting these indices? Thanks, Tom Hybiske K3GM
