[wxqc] Baraometer quality problems

[Mike Barth]

John,

If you're using the Davis software to report your data to CWOP/APRSWXNET then
that may be the problem -- Davis reports a form of sea level pressure that's
different than the "altimeter setting" used by CWOP/APRSWXNET.  I think they're
going to fix this someday, but I don't know what the status of that is.

Other software packages can handle this properly -- others may want to comment
on this.

My question is, do I need to check the elevation setting on my Davis Vantage Pro2? If I have this set incorrectly would this be the reason that I am getting the error readings from Weather Quality? I currently have it set at 171M
