This sounds very much like the chip that is in the Acurite 6045M > If there is a possibility to extract a singled detected lightning event and > it's data with standard devices, is another story.

Certainly it would be great to log the bits and study them. The 6045M only transmits periodically, with a longer period without lightning and then faster in 'active mode'. I suspect the chip reports immediately, and there is a different radio in the WH57. There is no reason why it couldn't be set up to send promptly, other than battery life. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
