when you were running skyspy, how often did skyspy save to database? how
often did it upload to wu?
when you run with weewx, how often does the station/gateway send data
packets?

time packets are implemented, but i'm not sure they work - the encoding
might not yet be quite right. the time packet is a 14:01
(station_ping_response).

the serial should start with 7fff. put it in the weewx configuration file:
[Interceptor]

serial = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

could you do some captures of the time updates when the gateway is talking
to lacrosse alerts?
could you do captures of the gateway talking to the interceptor driver, one
capture before you set the serial in weewx.conf, then another after you set
the serial.
we're looking for all http traffic to and from the gateway.
