It looks like your installation is "sort of" working. It's mostly getting
data, but missing some LOOP packets. Things to try:

Reseat the logger in the console.

It looks like you might be using a serial-to-usb converter. Do you have an
extra one? If so, swap them and see if that makes a difference.

Try power cycling the console. Unplug, take out the batteries, wait a few
seconds, then put back together. Restart weewx.
