Tony:

Your problems seem to be going from bad to worse. I'd give a call to Davis's tech support. They have a very good reputation.

Tony:

Regarding your WU History page, you're probably using an older version. The latest version is 2.3. Updating to the latest verison solved Jim's same problem with his WU-History data:

from the WD forum, the ability to use the baromter from a metar with the VP was added to an update to WD to provide a work around until the hardware is fixed, for tonyva

Kevin thanks for the WU History link    I have updated to version 2.3 and it's fixed my WU history data.

Good to hear! (You're welcome, although I had little to do with it. )

An update about my pressure problem, Davis have emailed me previous versions of firmware, 1.80 and 1.75. I have installed 1.80 but pressure still incorrect, I will install 1.75 later today which was the original version that came with the console. In the meantime as Brian mentioned above I have WD pulling the pressure from a local metar which is working great.

They emailed you version 1.75?  That should have been 1.75a (which I mentioned in an earlier post).

I think it's unlikely that a firmware change will fix your pressure problem (likely a bad sensor) - but it's certainly the correct first step in your case.

I recieived firmware 1.80 and 1.75 from Davies, installed 1.80 and still had problem with incorrect pressure readiing, installed 1.75 and seems to have solved problem, pressure now steady for the last 24 hours from console

thanks to all that offered suggestions and help

Well if that fixed your problem then I think I would send it back to Davis and find out what the problem is that you can not upgrade your console like all the rest of us VP2 user. Something is not right with your hardware.
