Thanks for the help. 1) l found a udev rule, 60-weewx.rules. l didn't write it so assume the installation did. I don't know why it didn't show up as /dev/vantage earlier but working now.
2) The Pi having incorrect time and date at boot seems to be the issue, l have seen no issues so far after installing an rtc. It appears to corrupt the vantage pro2 logger which l can only solve by clearing the memory, which results in lost data. Where do l find the log ? I found a reference to /var/log/syslog but can't find any relevant log. I have set debug=1 in the conf. Overall l find weewx very good and hopefully can get rid of my old PC with weatherlink.
