Yikes. If possible, could you do a DUMP command and send me the results? Without powering the unit down, of course. I want to see if it was a random bit flip or if some buffer overflowed and trashed stuff.
I don't know how it'd keep going like that, though. It's supposed to clear the weather flag after transmission and only re-set it if it gets valid weather data. I'll also need to know the firmware build number. I've got to remember to start saving the linker map files for old versions to do this sort of debugging.
