				| 
 |  
				| I've been banging my head on the wall for a while now trying to figure how I'm getting impossible readings like -3178.1F... 
 I'm using the Vantage Pro2 Wireless with Serial Weatherlink. System is AMD Athlon 2800+ running FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE, and I'm using the built-in serial port.
 
 I've tried clearing the archive data on the VP console with no luck.
 
 Here's what htmlgend shows occasionally (even after clearing the archives):
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | Apr 13 11:00:04 vpro2 htmlgend[1260]: <2479103903> : processNewArchiveRecord: RX date 20240326 28:99 does NOT match computed date 20060413 11:00 - ignoring record... Apr 13 11:00:04 vpro2 htmlgend[1260]: <2479103903> : processNewArchiveRecord: RX date 20260526 59:50 does NOT match computed date 20060413 11:00 - ignoring record...

 Before I started using wview I was running the windows WL software and everything was fine (so far as I could tell anyways...)
 
 Anyone think this could be a problem of a faulty WL or console?

 Oh, and here's the archive files that appear after a few minutes ( /var/wview/archive/* ):

 And another "fun" value I hadn't noticed previously..  and no it hasn't rained for a few days

				| Well, I have the same setup as you for my system other than my console is *wired*, not wireless. 
 In /etc/wview/wview.conf:
 STATION_INTERFACE=serial
 STATION_DEV=/dev/cuaa0
 
 Have you tried doing a complete RESET on the VP console right after clearing the archive data? I forget how that works but it is in the User Manual under configuring the VP.
 
 Does vpconfig work properly? Even if it does, the archive record (which is a binary transfer) can still be boluxed up if the serial interface is not quite right.
 
 Let us know how it goes.

				| I've been seeing something very similar. Only in my case only the first archive is  corrupted, and all subsequent packets are just too mangled to even download.  I got mine working just now.  I don't know how long it will work, but this is what I think I did to get it working: 
 clear archives from console
 reset console (take batteries out, and unplug)
 setup console from console
 vpinstall
 vpconsole /dev/ttyUSB0 show
 vpconsole /dev/ttyUSB0 cleararchive
 /etc/init.d/wview start
 
 If my wview breaks during the night, I'll let you know.  But it's gotten two consecutive archives successfully, which is one more than it ever got before. *cross-fingers*
