Not what I want to hear, but I sort of wonder about that console anyway. When the batteries need to be replaced, I have to let it sit there unpowered for maybe 15-20 minutes before inserting the new batteries. Otherwise I just get garbled text on the screen. Do the new Davis consoles play nice with weewx?
