Hi Turbo - sorry about your expensive antenna wire.
Thanks for posting the 496 settings. I use the extension line (I like it shown in time, where I'll be in 1-5 mintues). I've never seen the weather data like that... do you know where it gets the data? Nearest METAR? Doesn't look like winds aloft, is it?

It should still be under warranty, you bought it last fall (wink, wink).
