o/s presure right on LCD and wrong on web page by +16.1

Post by Paul-G0HWC »

Hi all,
on my W-8681 my outside presure is reading 1004.4
but displays on the website were out by +16.1
I have now set calibration to -16.1 to sort this.
Have I got something wrong here ?

You're possibly comparing 'absolute' and 'relative' pressure. You need to look at 'relative' (i.e. sea-level) pressure, and you need to set your station so that it's reading the correct value.
