[wxqc] Barometer readings

[Dan Ames]

I'm kinda new to this so bear with me if I sound like a rookie. I recently installed a Davis Vantage Pro and looking at the analysis my barometer readings are off quite a bit. I talked to the NWS in Riverton WY and they told me I could set it using the "Sea level" reading on the local airports site ( http://www.crh.noaa.gov/data/obhistory/KRKS.html<http://www.crh.noaa.gov/data/obhistory/KRKS.html> ) to set my barometer. I've tried this but still get a huge error in my data. I've double checked to make sure that I have the altitude set correctly in my unit so I'm kinda at a loss. My Dewpoint readings are also off.... are they related? Thanks
