[wxqc] false data - Weather link and WU

Hello,

I have noticed bogus humidity and barometric reading sent to WU. I have
a Davis Wizard III, which has no humidity or barometric sensors. I am
using Weather Link 5.6, and the WeatherLink Weather Underground
Expansion Module, using rapid fire beta.

Weather link shows the correct model and data, but virtual weather
station show the bogus reading (255% humidity, 19.99in). The help page
for  Expansion Module makes mention of a bug fix for 255 wind gust bug.
255 is one of those magic numbers....

I've completely cleared the station twice, reinstalled the software
with no luck. My only thoughts are, somehow the bogus data got into the
Davis Wizard somehow, Virtual Weather station and weather link are
somehow co-mingling data, or bad data got sent up to WU, and is now
"stuck" in my database on WU.

I am going to load a new PC with the software, leaving off the virtual
weather station software, and create a new WU account.

Anyone have similar issues? Thanks in advance.

Wayne
