Dave the Weather Man

No sign of any damp or dirt. Will try linking an external power supply. Thanks.

I did read somewhere that on some stations the solar panel supplies the power most of the time, with the batteries just being used overnight. Will try non rechargeable batteries & see what happens.

Thanks Malcolm. Have done so. Dave

Hi. I've had a "One Concept" Beaufort Weatherstation for 4 years. A month ago the console stopped receiving data from the outside equipment. I replaced the console batteries, which were getting old, and the rechargeable ones outside. After charging the replacements the data appeared on the console again, although only for a few hours. I have tried cleaning the contacts in the battery box outside and checking that all the leads are connected correctly. Again, after a short delay everything starts working again, only to stop within a few hours. I've tried moving the console closer to the equipment outside, but this has made no difference. I understand that I can get replacement parts (ie. transmitter) but don't want to keep buying new parts in the hope that they work. Has anyone had similar issues?
