Also, some weather stations (like the cheap-o LaCrosse station I have) don't return a gust value --- only the speed. If xastir didn't compute it directly, there'd be no gust information from stations with these gadgets. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
