The flags in question for Quiksat relate (primarily) to rain contaminated measurements vs non contaminated. Quicksat readings are 'contaminated' by rain and are therefore unreliable in those cases, for wind speed readings.
NHC and the analysis agencies much prefer to use unflagged (uncontaminated) sectors for wind readings.
