difference windspeed Davis console - MB PRO

[ws-kaiserville]

I see that the reading of wind speed is different when looking at the console from Davis and what the PRO2 is reading. The Vantage pro is fairly new (from early 2025) and sends decimal wind speeds to the console in contrary to the older generations. The meteobridge (using the RF receiver) seems to interpret the signals in the old fashion with increments of about 1,8 km/h. It also seems the wind speed of the VP console is somewhat higher on average (like 5-10% if I check 10 minute averages), although the difference is not a fixed value or percentage. Individual readings can sometimes be lower on the console (I sometimes see that in the gusts) but most often higher, sometimes by more than 10%.

It's not really disturbing since wind speed within a village will never be like on an official site, but still I'm wondering if anyone else noticed this, or if there is already an update on this part foreseen in the future?

The ISS is sending windspeed in mph via RF without decimals. The decimals you see when converted into m/s or km/h in the display are giving you the false impression of being more precise.

Nevertheless differences can show up when PRO2 or console miss RF packets.

What is the reception rate of the PRO2? Which RF threshold did you define? Those have an impact to avoid loosing any ISS packet.
