Ok, I checked it out and I was wrong. The Berkeley windtalker is
configured for miles per hour, not knots.
 
The good news - this means I can plane in less wind than I thought.

The bad news - the windtalker is giving very bad readings this week.

I will go work on it Saturday or Sunday morning (Sunday most probable).
If you call it before noon, it may give crazy readings. I expect that
it is just dirty, and hope I can fix it without parts. The last time
this happened, an earwig had crawled in the works and died, creating
a bit of friction. The SFBA insect merry-go-round.
