[wxqc] Baraometer quality problems

[spamfree]

Hi,

Yes, that can certainly be an issue. John, if you'd like to play around with the barometer issue, and the different forms of barometer reporting (sensor pressure, station pressure, altimeter, and sea level reduced pressure), you can downlowd my pressure calculator which I put together while working on a solution to this issue for the VP stations.

Best regards,

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
