Tom, FYI, I ran across an earlier discussion of yours (https://groups.google.com/g/weewx-user/c/9djjwjNdfUY/m/b1ZQGWh2xacJ) which talks about problems with the Davis 6540 data-logger. This is where I must have gotten my original modification of vantage.py. It supports my feeling that I should move away from the 6540. Thanks. Bob
