Hello,

I have recently purchased a technoline WS-3500 weather statio and I am
having trouble understanding how to set the setting for "relative
pressure". I am told that I set this setting to a reading that I can
get from the BBC website for my area and thats it job done? I am
confused as the reading I enter into this setup option is different
from what is read on the actual pressure display - why are they
different and what is the correct way to set this parameter?

Many thanks in advance

Gary

Hi Gary,

Are You shure that You set the "relative pressure"? On my weather station I
set "meters/feet above sea level" and then get the correct numbers for
"absolute pressure". Otherwise BBC would have to know where your ws is
exactly located to give you a correct setting.

Talk to you later ... Hans from Germany

Gary,

How much did you pay for this station and where did you get it if you don't
mind my asking? Thanks in advance.
