Gary,

Thanks so much! That's cleared the error. Now when I run the driver test, I 
get no block of text, just the following message:
'Using configuration file /home/weewx/weewx.conf 

Interrogating GW1000 at 192.168.0.200:45000'

Still not sure why I'm not seeing any activity, but at least the errors are 
cleared! Thank you!
