[wxqc] LaCrosse 2317

[Victor Engel]

What do you mean the data is not getting to the sensor? That is where the
data comes from, not sent to. Before I continue, let me hasten to say I know
nothing about LaCrosse equipment. Judging from the link you provided,
though, it uses radio transmissions. That means you need to be cognizant of
issues that can affect radio signals. This includes location of metal,
length of cables, and sureness of connections. How long are your cables?
What do you have nearby? Inspect the connectors carefully. Do all the wires
look clean and in good condition? Sometimes those RJ wires get bent or cross
over. If so, you can tell by looking, usually. Maybe you have a bad cable.
Try swapping out with other cable you may have on hand. It sounds like it's
standard phone cable, so if you have a land line, you can probably just swap
out your regular phone line for testing purposes. Also, are you running on
A/C or batteries? If batteries, are they fresh?
