I shall be watching! This month I replaced all the Davis electronics (except the console), after hours of troubleshooting with Davis Support failed to isolate the problem. The refurbished Davis system has been running for a week now, and I cannot help but be a bit paranoid. However, the recent outage is the only one in six or seven years of service. In addition to the ISS, the system has a Sensor Transmitter for the wind station (at 33 foot elevation) and a Repeater.
Meanwhile, my weather website has been idle, and I changed hosting service. So I decided this was a good time to upgrade from weewx 4 to weewx 5. Again, thanks.
