Scott:

A couple of weeks ago when checking for weather stations near my WS1 (VE6GW-4, 
I noticed that the OT2m in my vehicle (VE6GW) was registering as a weather 
station recording wind speeds like 406km/hour!  It seems that occasional 
packets (once every few days) get corrupted and somehow appear as weather 
packets.

Example raw packets are given below for a day or so ago.

Is there possibly some interference between my WS1 and the OT2m, or is there a 
possible quirk in the OT2m?  I have reloaded OT2 firmware and changed settings 
several times since I used the unit as a digipeater at the Banff Jasper Relay a 
week ago (more on some other issues I found later). 

The WS1 has been functioning outside on my garage roof since 1 April, and my 
OT2m on the vehicle in the garage beacons when parked, but I had not noticed 
this phenomena prior to mid May.
