[wxqc] Future Davis WeatherLink software development for CWOP

[htthames at bellsouth.net]

Leroy,

Am I correct in thinking that this "problem" is associated with the uploads from a Davis weather station through the weatherlink / datalogger and on to Weatherunderground? If it is, I'll certainly make a call and send an e-mail. The data I am sending like that "locks" the transactions more than it permits consistent transmissions to Weatherunderground. I'm like Mark, I'm ready to trash the Davis software and get something that will permit consistent uploading of data to sources of my choice not Davis'.

Thanks, Harry T. - CW3802

I called Davis about this very problem.  If enough people call then maybe we 
can get it fixed.
