If i setup the Airfield to a local field say EGTO thats about 20miles from me it will give me the weather for that area or is it set for larger municipal airports like EGKK.
Also what is the aim of Fleet watch status ,does it alert me new aircraft to my existing log or only show those flights on the Radar screen.
Apologies for my ignorance in advance

Spotter,
I don't know which airfields are available for weather info, but I presume that there will either have to be a manned met section or an automatic weather recording setup. Rochester is probably too small, but you could try other airfields like London City or Manston - just type in the ICAO locator and see what happens -you can't break RB by doing this :-)
Having the QNH entered auto set will give you more sensible altitude readouts for aircraft close to the ground, but it's not critical (unless you are flying that is!)
The fleet watch list just lists specific aircraft that you want to keep an eye on. These are aircraft that are already showing in either your MyFlights or Network lists. I like to follow British Airways aircraft in the daytime, and by clicking on "Show only Fleet Watch aircraft on map" it removes the "clutter" of all the other aircraft.
Try putting RYR* in the ist to catch all the Ryan Air aircraft, it's amazing how many there are about. Just give it a try.
I'm not entirely sure why you have to have the MANUAL entry in the Flight Watch Setup window, as I don't really understand the explanation in the window. Maybe AirNav Support will jump in here and help out?
No apologies needed for the questions, we all have to start somewhere and we never stop learning :-)
