I am trying to get SDR Uno &  RSP1A to detect and decode signal between
5 in 1 sensor unit to display unit so I can have a backup diagnostic to
verify that data comm link.

I can see what appears  I suspect to be it, but it looks like
cyclical/repetitive  short bursts on the same approx length of xmssn as
FT8, but the bursts seem to be occurring on six different discreet UHF
freqs in a channel width of about 433.8 MHz to 434.1 MHz.

Does anyone have any more tech info about this beyond AcuRite's brochure
that just says it is in 433 MHz band area? I can feed detected burst
audio via VAC to decoders of sorts but need to know what program to use
to detect and decode it.

Does each sensor on the mast unit xmit on it's own? I can maybe grab a
short vid clip to show it if that might be of use?

Thanks for any info.

Take a look at rtl_433 (https://github.com/merbanan/rtl_433). This software decodes AcuRite sensors.  No, the 5 N 1 transmits different message types that contains the sensor data.  The pressure sensor is located in the console.
