The issue is not one of units; it's an inconsistency between what the Weatherlink console is displaying and what weewx is.
For example, for the series of speeds that I posted previously, which were taken from the console, weewx recorded 0 as the speed. From observation, when the console displays a speed between 0 and 1.6kph, weewx records 0; for speeds between 1.6 and 3.2 kph, weewx displays 1.6kph, for speeds between 3.2 and 4.8kph, weewx displays 3.2kph and so on. Obviously, if those values are converted to mph, the progression is 1mph, 2mph, 3mph which implies that for some reason, weewx is only recording speeds in increments of 1mph. A complication is that while that is generally what happens, I do occasionally see weewx recording wind speeds that are not multiples of 1mph. Wind gust, however, is *always* a multiple of 1mph. The rtldavis/weewx-rtldavis and the console are obviously receiving the same signal but they are interpreting it differently.
