Hi,
I have built a couple of WD's in the last year and recently one of them has occasionally displays the "red screen", re not receiving data, and I assumed it was a reception issue. To prove this I moved it to the same location as the other unit, but it still had the same issue, and I decided to change the Rx module.
Because of the limited space available in the WD case, the Rx module is soldered direct to the pc board and difficult to change easily.
In my Rx unit I have the TX and Rx modules plugged into sockets, as there is plenty of room, and this allowed me to test the module before I installed it in the WD unit.
I changed it over and to date I have not noticed the "red screen" again (but I don't sit and watch it all day), but the data in the outside temp / humidity field is corrupted as shown in the RH unit in the attached photo.
The software is WD+ V2.1 b003 in both units.
Regards
Jim
