@ldecicco-USGS We have a TADA training for states coming up the first week of June & likely won't have time to update TADA to adjust to this change before then. I assume the CRAN release with these changes will happen past the first week of June but wanted to double check. What is your timeline for changing the DR defaults to use the new WQX 3.0 profiles (in the GitHub and in the CRAN version)? Thanks, Cristina

Not for quite some time. There will be several weeks of USGS testing before it would ever head to CRAN.
