NASA Clipper Wind Problem

[nondikass]

When powered up, the display for my NASA Clipper Wind runs away to show an indicated 99 kts. irrespective of actual wind speed.
Shows a similar max reading in mph or m/sec.
Equipment is at least 15 years old .
I wonder if anyone else has experienced this fault and is it terminal ?

Ask the guys at NASA, they are usually very helpful.

Yes, an actual UK company that you can call and talk to the men who make it - they'll sort you out and always friendly

Another vote for just ringing NASA - they don't even have a menu system, they just answer the phone

Hi Nondikass

I think my nasa clipper wind instrument has developed the same fault. Did you manage to resolve it with Nasa or is a new device needed?
Thanks

Maybe a stupid question but have you tried to re- calibrate it, and yes agree NASA very helpful people

Mine did this.
Bad connections at the deck plug I think.
re-made the connections, now it says zero all the time.
