Dave the problem was with wind direction .  from day to day the
instrument
never knew if the wind was from port or starboard .  yes you can
calibrate
the thing from the deck if you have a mast head unit handy    how many
times a day can you say linearization (common spelling) I have two
extras,
some times mast climbing twice or three a day is a little tiring if
your 65
years young. wind speed is close Gegrge K # 259 ----- Original Message
