I tried to upgrade to 3.1.0p42 then 3.1.0 today. I've been having some bad interference problems this week and reception has been spotty. When I started 3.1.0 up, it recorded 0.0F as the low temp for the day and 0.0F low windchill for the day. As a good record was received, the next update showed the correct high temp for the day. My log file shows 'bad archive record for 14:00' and is inserting 0.0 for the lows. I downgraded back to 2.0.0 and the low temps seems to be the last valid record. Is this a bug or do I need to change something (besides fixing the reception problem!)?? 3.1.0p42 shows the same problem.

I deleted this months archive file (wlk) before restarting each time, so that the file would always be rebuilt.

A followup of this problem. Here is a dump from my error log. The record at 16:00 is bad. It looks like the program used 0.0F instead of using the last good record and recorded 0.0F as the days' low temperature and low windchill. This is obviously not correct. Version 2.0.0 correctly uses the last good temperature.

Hi Pat

I had this same problem with a beta version of 3.0.0, and somebody else had it with the release version (see http://www.wviewweather.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=131). Fortunately it doesn't seem to get stored in the .wlk file, and restarting a couple of days later (after sorting out my reception problems) fixed it for me.

Hope this helps

I believe this is fixed in 3.1.1 (and now 3.1.2p1) but cannot verify as my VP is wired and I never have bad archive records...

Hi,
I need help in this topic...

I think I'm having the same problem. I've got these -17.8 C at these 'lows' (temp., dew point and wind chill for monthly and yearly values). The running version is 3.2.1.

This value appears in two dates corresponding to two starting points (the second one after changing the sampling rate at my VP).
The DB (mysql) data are Ok. The daemon has been started many times from those moments as I'm translating the templantes.
