Thanks Gary. I was trying to beat you back here but alas I didnt. I did a search on the gw2000 and found some posts and like you suggested here ran Weewx directly and can see both the rain in the loop and rec so that parts seems ok. I will do a bit more research and see what I can find. I have been trying the Weather34 skin/web stuff and thats how I noticed it and then went and looked at other stuff. It gives me something to tinker with
