[wxqc] WxSolution program with a Davis Vantage Pro 2

[spamfree at pensom.org]

Hi,

Davis' new firmware doesn't address the barometer/altimeter issue. The Vantage Pro console and envoy still output a sea level reduced pressure (not altimeter). The WeatherLink software latest version now calculates the altimeter from the console's sea level pressure. This is an important point, because it means that only those software packages that do the altimeter calculation will be able to send altimeter to CWOP. As far as I know, WeatherDisplay, PC-WeatherStation (WSWin), VPLive, and WeatherLink are the only ones that do this.
