Thanks Tom. I stopped weewx (sudo service weewx stop), then started it from the command line, as per the manual.
The LOOP packets all show txBatteryStatus as 1 - not surprising, as I only replaced the battery a couple of hours ago. But the REC packets show txBatteryStatus as None. So it looks as if txBatteryStatus is not being copied from the loop packets.
