Quote:The system has been good, but recently developed an issue in that intermittently it suddenly stops updating data even though the weather conditions have obviously changed.
In my humble opinion, this has happened because your RX unit, probably is placed at the limits of the RF coverage range (some days or hours it may work others not, this is the sympton). Before starting to change parts on both units (TX and RX) try to move the RX unit closer to the TX unit, or try to find a better position for the antennas. Most of the times, the TX antenna works better if placed horizontally (there are several posts about this matter), also try to attach the TX antenna directly to the SMA connector avoiding extension cables.
According to your description, it seems that currently your TX unit is not working, try to fix it, and before doing anything with the RX unit, try the procedure described above.

No, I don't know.
Werk,
Thanks for your input but I have done all those things to no avail. I am waiting on a powered USB OTG cable and determine if the unit is actually producing RF

Jim
PS Do you recommend RF amplifiers for marginal signal situations?
Werk,
"Initializing Auto-Reboot Soon" Does the receiver need the Tx unit operating with sensors connected to get past this stage?

Jim
Werk,
My apologies,forget the last question i have now read the post of yours in the forum; but what happens when there is no rain but temp, humidity and wind are OK. We have had no rain for weeks here.
