zambretti forecast: False

[bmb...@gmail.com]

HI 

Ive got a Very old WeeWx install of 3.9 I think, and one day it just stopped receiving my SDR data. 

Ive tried to fix it but Im feel like Im running in circles. I cant seem to get the Deamon to stop running the Weewx even through sigkill, /etc/init.d/ stop, to systemctl stop functions. 

I just looked at my system log and its being flooded by this repeating pattern

I have a Rasp Pi 3, with PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)"

NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux"

VERSION_ID="9"

VERSION="9 (stretch)"

I have an SDR running, with Belchertown Skin. 

It was built years ago, and had been running fine. I had a long time ago issues with getting the deamon running, but had fixed it, I think with the weewx script, but nothing in my Cron tab about starting it, so I must have made a very agressive restart in the script. 

My systemctl status is:

Id post more of the syslog but its just thousands to repeating "zambretti forecast: False" errors 

Im happy to post any logs. 

Weewx is installed in /etc/weewx/

I haven't made any modifications to the .conf file other than edits to the packet names to see if I can get it to find the devices again. For a short time last week it was running but only picking up my 1 sensor - so I adjusted that. 

I did reinstall RTL_433 and RTL_SDR - 

If I try to Run the SDR directly, I do get an error:

PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/weewx python /usr/share/weewx/user/sdr.py --cmd="rtl_433 -M utc -F json -f 915000000"

err:rtl_433 version -129-NOTFOUND branch master at 202410011102 inputs file rtl_tcp RTL-SDR

then it tells me there is a USB claim error, which if I unplug and replug at the right time I can get it to work.. but weewx is running in the background.
