Once again I find myself with a VP2 that is losing reception of either or both the ISS and Anemometer transmitter kit.
Last year I replaced the supercaps, as the one in the ISS had swelled up and leaked, and the one in the ATK wasn't too bad, but thought what the heck.
Now I am losing the ATK every night for the last 3 nights, and now today I've lost the ISS for around an hour before it returned. Still nothing from the ATK at the moment !
This has become extremely frustrating due to loss of rainfall data in particular.
Current firmware in the VP2 is "REV JAN 4 2005 (AU)"
I've had this VP2 since early 2005, and whilst 5 years isn't too bad, I'd really hate to throw the lot in the bin and start all over again.
The cost of the 6163's is still around $AU1800 over here, which is ridiculous when you consider the US and AU Dollar are at parity at the moment.
