I am in the process of installing an RTL-SDR (V3) receiver on my RPi-4 with the intent of receiving weather data from my Davis Wireless Vantage Pro2 sensor suite and capturing the data in weewx. Is the "rtldavis" driver the correct one to use for this application? I see that the "sdr" driver is somewhat newer, but rtl_433 on which sdr depends does not support the Davis protocol. Is this correct or am I missing something?

Thanks.
Wayne

I think I have answered my own question in that weewx-rtldavis IS the correct weewx driver for me to use. Additionally, the following install script should make the task even easier as it describes how to use an earlier golang version which builds a working rtldavis binary (the actual SDR software for the Davis protocol).

My sincere thanks to Vince for the above assist. Thanks for the bandwidth...
