QC is filtering out the bad values, but weewx server is currently resetting 
after 4 failed retries on regular basis while the phantom station haunts the 
vp2. there is no radio signal being transmitted to provide the extraTemp1 
values, it is just a figment of data logger’s imagination. the phantom 
battery-low apparently from the ex-station stopped yesterday, but the data 
logger is still reporting the extraTemp1 despite my (failed) wee_device 
instruction just now to desist

i do ‘wee_device —set-transmitter-type=2,10’ and it gives ’no <ack>’ error.
then i do ‘wee_device —info’ and it reports ch2 still enabled
so it is not just a case of resetting memory/power

weewx v4.5.1 using python3.7 on RPi 4B running buster with usb/serial
(vp2 firmware is from 2004. lately weewx has been resetting whenever the (now 
ex-) extra station reported low battery, so this bogus extraTemp1 value 
upsetting weewx is kinda understandable → i need to turn all vestiges of the 
(ex-) extra station off)
