Thanks Glen, I have placed the order. Waterproofing was the problem. Hobby Boards must have been a bit light on the coating. Traces and thru holes are corroded. When I get time I will try to repair it. I hope Sheepwalk has a better coating for waterproofing. I don't really know how to protect it without causing the readings to be affected.
