Scott, I use a PeetBros Ultimeter 2000 which runs ok with current firmware of OT+, I did not observe odd erratic readings. BUT same weatherstation with OT2m seems to have a bug in OT2m firmware, when you disconnect the HUMIDITY sensor from the Ultimeter2000. I do get false readings instead of indication that not humidity reading is available. As soons as you reconnect a correct humidity sensor (it works by converting humitidy into change of capacity and this changes an oscillator producing a low frequency in range 11-14kc) the oT2m transmits correct values. However it would be nice to have seperate tx interval settings for WX and normal position packets.

This might be the same problem as the Peet Bros thing, so I'm going to work on that first. It seems to be timing dependent, and it's hard to duplicate on the bench.
