[wxqc] WxSolution program with a Davis Vantage Pro 2

[Kevin Gray]

Geoffery,
 Actually I was not implying that D-R Lee did'nt have a valid complaint.
I was just stating that, after resetting my station to factory defaults and
removing any user-entered off-set. Then running WeatherLink 5.7, my station
has received a green check.

As far as compairing my station to the other two, that are at aproxamately
the same elevation, I did not. I wasn't trying to track with them, just
trying to get my own analysis.

>From looking at the QC chart for Galesburg Municipal Airpor, approx 2.5 Mi
away
It frequently has gaps in it's data, as you can see from the chart.

And as far as Macomb Airport, although it is about the same elevation, being
32.5 Mi away,
gets differnet weather (Ie. Storms, Tornado's etc.) that usually go south of
me.
Also from their chart, I see that it is usually higher than the analysis.

Who has the correct barometric offset ? Don't know.
I have no off-set entered and not really trying to follow the heard.
