Been trying to recieve data from my La Crosse LTV-W1 wind sensor using my SDR and cannot get anything.  I am really new to RTL433 and have learned lots though.  I did create a batch file which receives 915 and 433.92 perfectly and it toggles between the two every 30 seconds. Absolutely works perfectly there.  I can even pick up weather sensors around the neighborhood.  I can receive my La Crosse temp sensor on 915M but not my LTV-W1.  It is an LTV-W1 and not the LTV-WR1.  
  Is there a way of displaying a text file of anything rtl433.exe receives even if it cannot decode it?

Try rtl_433 -f 915M -a -A

If you are not sure what to make of this analyzer data, then maybe try:
- run: rtl_433 -f 915M -F http
- wait for "Connected"
- then Switch "Modes" to Raw ("all" to quickly get something, "unknown" to discover new devices)
- the display should should the analyzer data in a more visual way.

The HTTP UI is somewhat new (added in v20.11, Nov 2020) so if you see ""Invalid URL to InfluxDB specified. No path component" you would need a more recent version of rtl_433.
