First, let me apologize. I didn't mean to imply that the skin was the
issue. Thanks for your suggestion to look at the packets.  So the loop
packets have the correct wind direction in them. The rec packets, however,
seem to be rounded to the nearest 22.5 degrees.

Obviously the Davis VP2 is capable of transmitting wind to the whole
degree, but the rec packets are being received as if mapped to 8 compass
points. To be honest with you, I have little knowledge of how the drivers
in weewx work and  how they receive data from the VP2 console. Does the
console send different packets (the loop and the rec) or does software do
that magic?

In any case, I'd love to find a way to get this working to the whole
degree, if possible.

Thanks to any that can help,

Ernie
