Thank you for your input. There are a number of reasons why I have not done as you suggest. The principal one is that I believe that weewx is correctly responding to a misconfiguration of the hardware/drivers under Trixie. My hope was and is that someone has run into this before, and can help me configure the hardware correctly.
