Hi Tom,
My apologies for the initial, lean post. :\ I will do better! I have
some interesting news though. More below.
If you run weewxd from the command line
<https://www.weewx.com/docs/5.1/usersguide/running/#running-directly>,
does rxCheckPercent show up in the archive records ('marked as "REC"').
As a newbie, excuse the dumb question. Are you asking whether the LOOP:
row contains an attribute with the name *rxCheckPercent*? If so, no.
I poked at the database [archive] and confirmed that at one point, I was
collecting *rxCheckPercent* data.
Are you using hardware or software record generation
<https://www.weewx.com/docs/5.1/reference/weewx-options/stdarchive/#record_generation>?
The above was a great clue as to where I might look. I did some
additional tests.
* If I use hardware generation, it works: I get a Signal Quality value
reported on the web page.
* If I use software generation, it does not work. No Signal Quality.
Regardless of the *archive_interval*: 60, 120 or 300.
It would be helpful to see the log. Stop weewx, set debug=1 in the
configuration file weewx.conf, then restart. Post the log from startup
through the first reporting cycle.

my browser continued to serve a cached web page even though the
generated HTML was more current. Even a hard refresh (CTLR-R) would not
get the later page to display. I resorted to using <meta
http-equiv="refresh" content="120"> to force the web page to refresh.
However, I am wondering if instead, it might be best to use
*Cache-Control: max-age=300*
I might change my template to use the above directive as well as the
refresh.
Cheers!

We will need more information than this.
If you run weewxd from the command line
<https://www.weewx.com/docs/5.1/usersguide/running/#running-directly>,
does rxCheckPercent show up in the archive records ('marked as "REC"').
Are you using hardware or software record generation
<https://www.weewx.com/docs/5.1/reference/weewx-options/stdarchive/#record_generation>?
It would be helpful to see the log. Stop weewx, set debug=1 in the
configuration file weewx.conf, then restart. Post the log from startup
through the first reporting cycle.
The skins that come with WeeWX do not do autorefresh and never have.
That's up to the user to add with a meta tag.

Hi,
A fresh 5.1.0 install on openSUSE Tumbleweed. Vantage Pro2.
For unknown reasons to me, the Signal Quality was working and it
is now N/A.
I am not sure what part of the log, if at all, I should post.
The web page also stopped updating via a browser until I added
"<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="120">" Is this a known issue?
Thanks for any help!
