hello john,
i did the following 3 times:
weewx@dev:~/vantage$ weectl device --set-transmitter-type=1,10
--config=weewx.conf
Using configuration file weewx.conf
Using driver weewx.drivers.vantage.
Using Vantage driver version 3.6.2 (weewx.drivers.vantage)
Proceeding will set channel 1 to type 10 (none, inactive), repeater: OFF
Are you sure you want to proceed (y/n)? y
Set channel 1 to type 10 (none, inactive), repeater: OFF
weewx@dev:~/vantage$ weectl device --info --config=weewx.conf
Using configuration file weewx.conf
Using driver weewx.drivers.vantage.
Using Vantage driver version 3.6.2 (weewx.drivers.vantage)
Querying...

5 active N NONE (N/A)
6 active N NONE (N/A)
7 active N NONE (N/A)
8 active N NONE (N/A)
...
➔ it persists in having ch1 as 'inactive iss'. which you advise is bad.. could
you send me your driver to see if it makes a difference? PM would be fine.
it should not be relevant, but iss_id=2 in my weewx.conf.
cheers
