Hello Andrew Thanks for the suggestion. Low battery could be a contributory factor (2 standard alkalines installed in Jan) but note that Solar data continues to be displayed during these `lost connection: 64` episodes. Furthermore, I can ~see~, with the aid of an SDR, all three transmissions sequences being sent at equitable signal strengths during a Wind/Temp/RH/Rain outage. A console restart (when unattended) or a 4-second hold of the `Down-Arrow` recovers full functionality within three cycles, usually. The manual states that 8 missed packets triggers the condition (it may not be coincidence that 8^2=64) the trick will be to find the cause; maybe `per site` (battery/interference/underperforming firmware/...). Of course, this scenario may be limited to those Fine Offset systems with Solar capability but the point is - It Happens Here. What I propose is an enhanced auto-recovery method should others find themselves in the same situation. -D -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
