Hi, Phil Your FO station emits what we call "partial packets." This means, not every packet includes every data type, in particular, in this case, not every packet will include solar radiation. But, the WU expects every type to be in every packet. We get around this by using a cache to save older values of data type.
However, by default, the cache will only hold an item for 16 minutes. So, if your station emits a solar radiation value, it should get included in the RF posts, but only for 16 minutes. After that, it goes stale and goes away. With that background in mind: do you know how often your FO station emits solar radiation? How long did you let it run before cutting and pasting the snippet you emailed?
