OK, so I checked the rain cone and tipper; all clear. Powering off the console didn't help. I also changed the ISS's ID in case someone else's station in the neighborhood was what I was receiving (it's wireless). No change. Tipping the rain gauge still isn't reporting and I've still got the radiation around 900 W/m, so I guess I'll have to call Davis on Monday.
