Tom, Your mention of weewx.units.obs_group_dict rang a bell in this rather old brain. A necessary file (/bin/user/extensions.py) was where I was getting all my needed units and formatting for my bookworm installation. In moving things to trixie, I did not move this file along with others. It's now in place and things are working correctly. Many thanks for the help and much appreciation for your work, and the work of many others, in weewx development. Cheers, Bob
