Referring to the Live data Signal being in the sub -20db, such as UV signal of -14db and -18db? Have a couple of systems that literally sit on top of each other in repeater and non repeater configs and see around -40db signal strength so looking at what might appear odd or abnormal in your config.
The problem is when trying to diagnose something like this one only get to see what limited output is provided.


Sorry, but I didn't understand your answer!

Have you tried not using the retransmit of the Vue console?
So directly receive from ISS?
Might be that the console is the culprit

The problem also exists in the direct reception from the ISS.
The console is fine.
There is also a second console!

Thanks for your interest

Every day 3 to 6 gaps in the UV chart!

I hope the admin solves this problem!

I'm waiting for some upgrade that will solve the gap problem!

The admin is listening?

This continues to appear to be some sort of localized issue as so far unable to duplicate? Going back to basics and referring back to the graphs as you have not provided the raw logged data.

The Davis USB logger is directly connected to Davis WeatherLinkPC correct? What is the WLPC Archive Interval setting? Similar with the MB, what logging interval?

Are you really complaining about a few single minutes drop-out in UV data reception during the day? That can be anything. If you use a 5min scale for your graphs the gaps will not be there. Other systems (even Davis) might just repeat old data for a longer time to hide that no new data is there and to give easy to concern users some better sleep ;-)

I'm not complaining, I just thought you could solve this problem, but I'm sorry to say that you just ignore it!

Why are there no gaps in the one minute-scale diagrams of temperature-humidity, barometer, wind, rain?

Because UV sensor is not sending data every minute.

UV sensor sending data from 50 sec to 1min! (5 minutes when dark)

Inspecting RF I have a different observation, but I guess you may know better.

Please excuse, that I put my focus on other topics.

This is going nowhere. Topic closed.

Summary for the public: There is one user who experienced that in his special setup UV data might miss out a few minutes a few times a day. Please be warned!
