updated and recalibrated in the middle of elevated wind. Not sure what you can take out of this, maybe its almost the same.

There is confidence that it will work stably and well, because I do not smile to climb on the roofs and waste time. I've done it enough times.

The amount of updates to the WS90 has been overwhelming over the past 2 years and the product has continued to fail to run to soft 1.3.8 according to the manufacturer's specifications in the product sheet. I have concerns that 1.4.3 will not be any better. I have already commissioned a colleague from Poland to test against Davis VP2 and Hongyuv WDS2E after Lorawan. It looks like we are guinea pigs for Ecowitt, paying money for the product and they are releasing new software versions by trial and error, probably testing the Wittboy and WS80 without a reference device a longer period of time.

In the near future, we will juxtapose the Wittboy on charts with this device to check the Fine Offset accuracy claims: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8ZxAkw23DM

From an earlier discussion with Ecowitt, the calibration to zero is the WS90 (or WS80) unit brought into an area with no wind (indoors) and the CAL button pressed and released whilst the unit remains still.
