Hello Gary Now it gets complicated for me. I just saw that the GW2000 offers different "Rainfall Data Priority": "Piezoelectric Rain Gauge", "Traditional Rain Gauge" and "No Rain Gauge".
I could reset the data on the Gw2000 and clear the database from weewx and then watch for the next few days. The few days of data loss wouldn't matter. The weather station has only been hanging in its final location since Thursday. Attached are two pictures.
