I think I got things mostly fixed. Here's what I think fixed it.

   - started from scratch (multiple times) ended up going with the 
   Raspberry Pi Lite version 
   - in the weewx.conf file I have:
   [SDR]    
   driver = user.sdr
   cmd = "sudo /usr/local/bin/rtl_433 -M utc -F json"
   - Note the full path to the rtl_433 file. I dont think the sudo is 
   necessary, but its working so Im not messing with it. I tried this multiple 
   times, and it didn't seem to work, because....
   - It seems the sdr.py version I'm using does not reflect the names of 
   the sensors that rtl_433 is reporting out. So I modified sdr.py to reflect 
   the actual names, and now I'm getting data! Example of sdr.py change:
   changing 
   IDENTIFIER = "Acurite 606TX Sensor"
   to 
   IDENTIFIER = "Acurite-606TX
   - I'm not sure why I had to change sdr.py, because I tried both the 
   current version, and the version I was using, and neither worked. So I'm 
   thinking at some point, I did the above modification and didn't keep track 
   of it. 

Lot of time waste on this. I also will be building a routine to backup my 
RPi so that all I need to do is reflash an SD card and all is restored. 

I ended up purchasing a new RPi and SDR dongle. Maybe I'll setup the extra 
to setup a DEV system so I can experiment as desired.
