Hi, Sean – I have a 5-in-1, and it normally sends every 20-30 seconds. However, I had to buy one of the Acurite repeaters to get a reliable connection to my base, I have lots of metal between the sensor and my receiver, AND I’m a ham radio operator with LOTS of RF devices, so I’m in an “RF-Rich” environment. I’d recommend looking at the signal strength bars on your base; and making sure your base is receiving correctly.
Good luck!

The Acurite 5-in-1 and the SDR are working, but there are still times when minutes or hours can pass where the SDR is not receiving any packets from the sensor, and therefore no broadcasts to wind guru. Has anyone got any good ideas on troubleshooting this? Here is a lot of the last few hours https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZiEH8XZD0glneQHykh8633IJuS6Xbc3fyzk It's just so strange that sometimes the sensor will send a packet every 20-seconds, and other times a few minutes will pass without a packet being received. One would think that the packets should be consistent and regular. Does anyone have any insight into how the Acurite 5-in-1 sensor sends packets - should it be at a set time every x seconds, or is erratic normal? I don't understand SDR much, could there be another device nearby that is interfering with the receiving of packets? Pulling my hair out trying to troubleshoot this problem!!
