Frank, have you tried to do any troubleshooting on the wind speed portion? The anemometer at the mast head is a little electrical generator. It puts out a small AC voltage, whose frequency varies with the wind speed. First thing to look for is this voltage on the back of the meter. If your meter has a frequency function, you can see the frequency vary as the wind speed changes. No voltage, then first choice from a problem is the wiring.
I think Standard Horizion has stopped supporting this line. From a google search and the sailnet pages, Rick Kaus ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) was offering a free/cheap WS1 about a year and some months ago because his masthead unit had failed. He has a C-28.
