Thanks.. The station and the logger are both new. The firmware is version: 3.63 (US). (Interestingly, the latest version on their website is 3.59 <https://www.davisnet.com/resources/weather-monitoring/#support>)
I don't think Davis support is open until Tuesday, and I'm only here until Monday. I might try connecting it to a Windows PC and using WeatherLink and see what that says.
