My WH1081 is in constant connection with the display but I'm always getting error messages on Cumulus.
I have a small notebook connected to the station and I have turned off the power saving on USB, the notebook doesn't sleep its always on.
What else could it be?

Re: lost contact
Have you tried ticking Configuration / Station / Settings / Synchronise Fine Offset reads, this sometimes helps depending on your model of WH1081 (usually solves the problem on newer models).

Re: lost contact
Hi,
There are numerous possibles causes, such as local radio interference, excessive expectations of the achieveable range (the ~"100m" specification is only for "open field" or "line of sight" conditions), or a "faulty" transmitter or Console, etc. Take a look at this recent thread for example.
Cheers, Alan.
What do the error messages actually say? The "Lost Contact" message (in your title) normally indicates that there is a problem with the radio communications between the transmitter and Console. It occurs after about 6 minutes of "missing" data (which Cumulus then repeats each minute until corrected) and corresponds with "--" fields on the Console LCD.zecrich wrote: I'm always getting error messages on Cumulus.
