this is not unusual.  i do not know why, but rtl_433 often outputs the same 
packet multiple times.  there is logic in genLoopPackets to skip 
duplicates, so although you see them in the output when you run weewx-sdr 
directly, you should *not* see duplicates in the weewxd output.

could you run weewx with debug=1 then post the log output?  it should 
report when duplicate packets appear, and when it rejects the duplicates.

well, if the hardware is emitting garbage then there is nothing the 
weewx-sdr driver or weewx can do about it.

i was mistaken about the different packet types.  there are two different 
packet types from one rtl_433 setting - the "-R 32" option.  i thought 
there could only be one.  thank you for correcting me.

your unit system is METRIC, so the values you see for rain in LOOP and REC 
is measured in cm, not mm.  that means that weewx is seeing 0.3 cm (3 mm, 
not 0.3 mm) for each bucket tip.

so it looks like the FOWHx080Packet should be METRICWX not METRIC. 

i have modified the weewx-sdr driver as of commit 662ad60

note that will also affect wind speed - using METRICWX in the 1080/3080 
packets means wind speed should be reported in m/s, not kph.  could you 
verify the wind speed from your station?  (you will have to measure fairly 
high wind speeds to confirm - at low wind speeds the differences do not 
show up clearly)
