No ideas here. I rebuilt mine on a spare pi and will leave it running since we have a week of storms coming to the Pacific NW. I see a few duplicate packets logged and very occasional missed packets but I haven’t noticed craziness yet.
You can probably filter out wild readings with some StdQC settings if you just want to ignore them.
