That is an issue beyond the control of Davis, or any other
supplier.

I beg to disagree, Davis has published their data format
so any 3rd party can make use of it:
http://www.davisnet.com/support/weather/download/Vantage%20Serial%20Pr
otocol%20Docs%20v2.1.0.zip
If this weren't the case, there wouldn't be so many 3rd party
applications that supported it. If you're trying to get the
data to a TNC, that should be a minor issue.
