B&G Wind Sensor

[John1534]

Our B&G wind sensor has been acting funny lately. Every once in a while it will jump from (example) 12 knots to 29 knots then back to 12 knot after a few seconds. I was thinking maybe a bad connection somewhere. We have had some very strong wind storms recently might have loosened something up top. Anyone else ever had this problem?

Had a similar problem. Always intermittent. Turned out to be interference with the microwave. Finally figured out that the admiral was re-heating coffee and the wind speed would go nuts (+70 kts) A wire loom shield had come loose and was not shorting out the radio interference from the microwave.
