.............. my trusty Watson W-8681 seems to have finally died after running 24-7 since May 2009. I'm getting the dreaded "12/03/2015 17:29:12 : Lost sensor contact!!! 100: Data: 06 37 CF 00 FF FF FF 12 27 FF FF FF 80 00 00 40" on cumulus with not external data on the consol persistently now. Even with a reset and new batteries all around.

Any suggestions before I scrap it and get something else?

...................... and what else?

PS ...... By the way ignore my caption - it's been raining heavily all day here! :bash:

Now that's odd. After replacing the batteries yesterday, checking all for the connections etc rtc.... and deciding the dam thing was dead. I come home just now to find it back online!!!

I would "torment" it with a Davis Vue, if I could afford it! :bash:
