the station shows up on the usb, but it is not responding.
the first thing the te923 driver does is to query the station to see
if it is a large or small memory model. in your case, that query fails.
most likely the firmware is wedged. did you try to power cycle the
station?
if you are loathe to lose the data in the logger (assuming there is
any, and assuming it is not corrupt), then you can try using the te923
driver to do a raw dump of the station memory (see the options you got
when you did --help). you could also try using the latest te923.py
driver (version 0.18 - get it from the weewx repository on github)
instead of rc5. you could also try downloading and compiling the
te923tool software to see if it can read the station memory (if it
can, and the weewx driver cannot, that would be a useful data point).
however, if the weewx driver cannot even read the bytes that indicate
the memory size, chances are pretty good that nothing will be able to
read it.
this kind of usb lockup happens regularly on fine offset stations,
fairly frequently on acurite stations, but fairly rarely on hideki
(te923) stations.

Matthew,
Thanks for your elaborate answer. I need another weather station as this
one is gradually degrading. In April I changed the rechargeable battery
in the wind unit but since 2 weeks it doesn't send any signals (the
reason I changed the location of my logger). I will try your useful
suggestions this afternoon as I have to go in a few minutes. I should
see if I can repiar the wind unit (it's on a 10 m. mast) but I can only
use 1 hand (a minor operation puts it out of order for 6 weeks!) so I
have to wait to do that and/or install a new system. I tend to the Davis
with only the units and a meteostick but I don't know if the meteostick
has a memory for data and for how long. I want at least 4 days storage
to prevent data gaps.
