[wxqc] WMR-968 wind direction

[Isaac Kishk (CW6261)]

isnt even a software thing w/ these.  the "bad" data is on the
console.  I used to love this device, until various modules just
stopped working :)  I've mentioned exact details on my issues, so i'm
not just blatanly putting it down. Its just not a "pro-sumer" product,
its more like a casual toy.

btw, I use wx200d on linux and it's been flawless.
