I have addressed this through "customer service" ... here was my original e-mail to LaCrosse...
One issue I have noticed as have many other owners of the 28xx series is that while uploading information to Weather Display or any number of programs that send our information out there to the Internet, most all variables and peaks (highs, lows, etc) are recorded and shown. The one exception to this rule is the maximum wind GUST. NOT SPEED but GUST. Granted it IS displayed on the "Current Weather" screen for the home unit, but that's as far as it goes.
Question then arises... your programers have done such a good job with programming the unit to record the extremes and send them out to the various programs, is there an update available or possibly come up with one that catches that maximum wind GUST and sends it out there for all to see? Thank you.
And here was their reply...
With regard to the following from your email: "is there an update available or possibly come up with one that catches that maximum wind GUST and sends it out there for all to see?"
There is no update that will have a wind gust reporting function. Your suggestion has been noted for future possible consideration.
"Possible consideration"? This is unacceptable to me as I know it is many other owners of the LaCrosse brand weather stations. All we want is to have the peak gust recorded so it will be available on our home computers as well as on the internet in places such as WU. It took all that brain power to come up with all of the features that Heavy Weather records now to send out; why can't LaCrosse perform a customer service and send out or make available a fix to this issue? Failure to accommodate customers in the long run is how companies lose business or even go out of business. I for one will NEVER purchase another LaCrosse station or instrument no matter how inexpensive it is.
