Thanks for all the info! - Good to know that the WH32B is not supported by the GW1000...makes sense.
- I will try moving things around to check RF performance. - My GW1000 is 915 MHz. I checked the WS-2000 console and it is also 915 MHz. - I'm planning to order a short USB extension cable to move the GW1000 away from the power supply (and maybe a dedicated power supply too). - I finished the OS install on the box where I plan to install weewx but don't have it on my network yet...gotta get that fixed up before I move forward on that front...
