Even careful calibration can only match one particular flow rate. The calibration won't be the same for a substantially different flow rate.
The effects of wind are even more complicated. I run a Davis Vantage Pro 2, a Rainwise 8 inch electric reporting gauge, and a classic four-inch analog within a few feet of each other. For any given storm, the matching between them varies quite a bit, but apparently the calibration is not bad, because over the year of variation they come very close.
I fear it is very easy to degrade your accuracy by performing an inappropriate calibration procedure.
