Seems that I spoke too soon that it's only the wind that's problematic as I got a high rain rate of 204.8mm/hr with an amount of 51.2mm over an archive interval today. That definitely did *not* happen and was not recorded by the weatherlink console. I'm starting to wonder about the reliability of rtl-sdr for reading Davis weather station data. I did not notice any problems with reading acurite 5in1 data using rtl_433 for a week or so before I got my Vantage Vue so I wasn't expecting this.
Are there any more reliable methods for reading Vantage Vue data transmissions?
