Do what Glenn said.  The quotes got changed to smart quotes by my mail program.  After you do that, we should get log messages and not a syntax error on the line I asked you to add.

John,

I deleted the max_cache_age line and retyped it, in case there was any text I couldn't see.

Here is the line you requested:
File "/etc/weewx/bin/user/rtgd.py", line 2893
    log.info(\u201cts: %s (%s), self.cache[obs][\u2018ts\u2019]: %s (%s), max_age: %s (%s)\u201d % (ts, ts, self.cache[obs][\u2018ts\u2019], self.cache[obs][\u2018ts\u2019], max_age, max_age))
             ^
SyntaxError: invalid character '\u201c' (U+201C)

That syntax error is the result of non-ascii characters in your log.info string. Specifically - smart quotes. They are showing up as \u201c and \201d instead.

Where you see " or ”  ie :- 'double quotes' delete them and replace them with the plain " character from your keyboard. Use a plain text editor to do it and it will have no choice but to insert the correct character. Use nano, vim or whatever is your favourite editor

There is a subtle difference in their appearance and while they appear the same, they are most definitely not.
