But, I am not seeing outright failures, just retries. I see that weewx shows ISS signal quality; I should get around to showing serial quality as well.

Looking at my logs, it is interesting that there is frequently a failure at 0000 (local), although I suspect that has more to do with local computer loading than the environment. I do have a bunch of ferrites on hand, but uusally I am trying to keep equipment from raditating and causing interference to radios. I'll keep that in mind when I extend my cable to more like 60'. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
