So I take it that Davis only now supply ONE tipping bucket range for
imperial measurement only and the metric is just a mathematical
conversion? I 'm sure when I bought my WM11 they used to have two
variants.

Must admit I still think mine under reads, I often try to get some
comparison with Shoeburyness, but being 6 miles away is not realy the
best way.

As was mentioned on a previous thread and I'm sure you would have
looked into this. Spurious readings can be a problem, I sorted mine
out by buying a surge protection socket(s).

You are correct about the Vantage Pro bucket size; this caused me a problem
when I first installed my station as it seemed from the instructions that
the bucket should have been metric size. It was an early station and the
literature has now been updated. I had to correct the readings for the error
which was easy to do in Excel.
