Tom, I tried the console setup mode exit when you first mentioned it, and it made no difference. After upgrading to 4.5.1, and trying both the new vantage.py and then my modification (as listed above), I did a build/install back to 4.4.0 and everything took off perfectly. At this point, I have decided to order a 6510SER logger to replace my 6540. I’ve needed to modify vantage.py with each weewx upgrade so maybe this will solve the problem once and for all. If not, I will have eliminated a possibility (and have a spare logger!). Thanks for your help and especially for the software. Also thanks to Greg for his comments. I’ll keep you posted when I install the new logger. Cheers, Bob
