I don’t know. It’s possible both loggers have corrupt station memory. It’s not as unlikely as you may think, corrupt station memory is frequently caused by power supply interruptions. If you are not reading archive records from the logger you would never know you have the problem; the console still works fine and any software that uses loop packets from the console will also work fine. WeeWX is one of the few PWS applications that use hardware archive records from the Davis logger/console and since the vantage driver default is to use hardware records WeeWX at times suffers the consequences of corrupt station memory.
One thing is certain; there is an issue with your logger. If the second console/logger is doing the same it has an issue too.
