Luc, Long time since we spoke, hoping all is well with you. Trying rtl-davis again after long while. One note is that I just set up on new clean P13 Buster install as noticed earlier by you and Steve it fails to see any Transmitters. Had read earlier in a sdr forum that this was fixed in a new

That sounds OK. Slightly nervous about running a modified weewx-vantage driver on my production machine, but I guess I will get over my fears:) BTW both machines run ntp to the same server list , so times are always close to identical. Also please be aware that on both machines WeeWx logs to

Kobuki, A ppm calibration offset would be great! Unfortunately the program does not provide one as of yet, I am well aware that my Freq list may be of little use to anyone else. It's just a temporary terrible hack to get some decoded output for now. Luc,If I take your current US test Freq
