@Alan, I agree with you
It's better trying to increase the "collection area" than do the proposed change in the software. A value of 0.8 per tip will produce very unreliable rain data, and in some days of light rain, it will not register any rain at all.
@dormani
Maybe you could calculate the "collection area" of your rain gauge, and do the change proposed by Alan. If you could increase it by nearly three times you will get a tip bucket of nearly 0.3mm. I'm not the best guy to help with this matter but certainly there is people here in the forum who could help you with the calculations.
