Don't feel RF is the issue as the past few events were during a time that the radio's were off. Happened again this morning after restarting... log entries were the same. Any suggestions on a solid serial -USB converter chip-set to use??. I'll add another ferrite choke per the *Tips on making a system reliable <http://www.weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#Tips_on_making_a_system_reliable>.*
