Am I correct that you can establish wind direction by comparing the wind speed and headwind readings on this model, specifically when the headwind reads the negative of the same number for wind speed (5.0mph vs -5.0mph)? I know about the method rotating the unit until the impeller stops/reverses, but I keep picking up swirling wind. Can I just point the unit into the wind and move until those numbers line up?
