Here we go again for no real apparent reason I can put my finger on I received another two different false readings at different times apart. They were fairly close together and with a break in between both times my wind readings were 10plus and 11plus mph. Would those wind readings have some strange way of triggering false reports? Funny but my higher readings around those times did not trigger any false record. Far as I know my tripod is quite stable and I can go long periods days perhaps without this happening. Just seemed weird that today both times my wind readings were the same about 20minutes apart. I know anything under the sun can cause this to occur and that too is tragic. ---
