[wxqc] Weatherlink 5.7

[dr. Lee]

VP Live does not cause com port problems with one port to the console.  You
install the Davis software then install VP Live and configure it so when it
starts up it reads the archive files from the davis and then set the time
between when vp Live releases the port and starts the davis Software to down
load data from the console to the archive.  When the davis software is done
with the download it releases the port as it quits and the VP Live software
again has the port to the console.  So there is ZERO cost with this prodict
runnubg with davis software as the VP Live acts as the controlling and
queing the runnung ov the davis software in the background.

For me that would not be zero cost, because of com port contention. The com
sharing software only works on Windows 2000 and Windows XP, I think. There
is a commercial product for about $100 that works on other versions of
Windows, but I don't have it yet.

The only zero cost solution is to use VP Live with Davis software as
Weatherlink still does not meet the requirements alone but still needs some
help.

Weatherlink 5.7 was released a couple of months ago. I just upgraded today
and notice an anomaly with APRS. The wind gust data no longer seems to be
transmitted -- or it is being transmitted as zeroes.

Prior to the upgrade, I had my software set to 1 minute gust/5 minute mean.
I did not change the setting, which no longer seems to be available. The
release notes say the software was changed to send 2 minute gust and 20
minute mean. 

If anyone else is using Weatherlink 5.7 to update APRS data, I'd like to get
some confirmation of this and possibly submit a bug report. Of if there's
something I can do in setup to ensure gust data is nonzero, let me know what
that is.
