I am setting up weewx on RPI3 using rtl_433.

I have output as per sample:

You have several issues. Due to rtl_433 changes, your LaCrosse-TX141THBv2 is not recognized. I have updated this sdr driver, give it a try. Replace your sdr.py in bin/user of the weewx home dir.

Get rid of the AcuRite section, only one driver is used with weewx and you are using SDR

[AcuRite]
    # This section is for AcuRite weather stations.
    
    # The station model, e.g., 'AcuRite 01025' or 'AcuRite 02032C'
    model = AcuRite 01035
    
    # The driver to use:
    driver = weewx.drivers.acurite

SDR is specified as the driver but you have no sensor map. Try this. Your 5n1 has a sensor id of ""id" : 1601," which converts to hex 0641. 0641 is used in the sensor map. I took a guess at the lacrosse sensor map:
