batteries only

On Monday and Tuesday, I tried a bunch of other things to resolve the Davis WeatherLink communication issues. I swapped the "simple" cable for one with a ferrite bead. No improvement. I made a point of keeping the cables far apart. I thought this worked but no go. In a moment of inspiration, I installed a USB hi-speed 2.0 PCI adapter card, from another CAO computer, into the server and hooked the camera to this port. Different port; distal from the main board 1.1 USB connectors. Thought this was the magic bullet. No joy.

In the end, I asked Dietmar to disconnect the AC adapter. Now we're running the Davis Vantage Pro 2 weather station on batteries only.

All seems well...
