So where was the ET coming from that was in the loop packet? The vantage driver does not emit field ET in loop packets and the StdWXCalculate service does not calculate an ET field for loop packets. Also are you using software or hardware archive record generation, there are some peculiarities to the hardware archive record ET value emitted by the Vantage driver/station.
