Same here. I was a little rough one time cleaning mine and broke the reed switch and Davis was nice enough to send me a few after I contacted customer support. Not a bit deal to use a soldering iron to remove the old one and solder a new one in, although I was sweating a bit at the time :-) If you're still seeing reports of radiation when you do not have a radiation sensor at all, you definitely want to contact Davis customer support unless you did something silly like plug your rain gauge sensor into a radiation jack or the like. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
