I have installed the udp driver but when I try to start the service I get this in the loag

Jul 4 12:43:27 raspberrypi weewx[5895] INFO weewx.engine: Loading station type WeatherFlow (user.weatherflowudp)

In weewx.conf I have

station_type = WeatherFlow

[WeatherFlow]

driver = user.weatherflowudp

##############################################################################

and in /usr/share/weewx/user I have weatherflowudp.py

This is on a pi 4

TIA

I assume you are using this driver? If so have a close look at the install instructions and you will see the correct driver stanza is [WeatherFlowUDP] not [WeatherFlow]. Similarly, station_type needs to be WeatherFlowUDP not WeatherFlow.

If you installed the driver using wee_extension and configured WeeWX to use the driver using wee_config then something seems to have gone astray as the appropriate driver stanza name should have been automatically set for you.
