Thanks..

The station and the logger are both new.  The firmware is version: 3.63 
(US).  (Interestingly, the latest version on their website is 3.59 
<https://www.davisnet.com/resources/weather-monitoring/#support>) 

I don't think Davis support is open until Tuesday, and I'm only here until 
Monday.  I might try connecting it to a Windows PC and using WeatherLink 
and see what that says.
