After 18 months of solid operation SkyWeather2 now only logs data for a short time (if at all) after a PI reboot.
I killed the SkyWeather2.py app and ran "sudo python3 testWirelessSensors.py" with the following output:
pi@wxstation:~/SDL_Pi_Skyweather2 $ sudo python3 testWirelessSensors.py
Starting Wireless Read
rtl_433 version -128-NOTFOUND branch master at 202104131855 inputs file rtl_tcp RTL-SDR
Use -h for usage help and see https://triq.org/ for documentation.
Trying conf file at "rtl_433.conf"...
Trying conf file at "/root/.config/rtl_433/rtl_433.conf"...
Trying conf file at "/usr/local/etc/rtl_433/rtl_433.conf"...
Trying conf file at "/etc/rtl_433/rtl_433.conf"...
quiet option (-q) is default and deprecated. See -v to increase verbosity
Consider using "-M newmodel" to transition to new model keys. This will become the default someday.
A table of changes and discussion is at https://github.com/merbanan/rtl_433/pull/986.
Registered 6 out of 152 device decoding protocols [ 146-148 150-152 ]
No supported devices found.
I'm wondering if the SDR adapter may be dying. Has anyone had their SDR adapter fail?
Thanks,
Kevin

Could be. You don't have anything running in the back ground, correct? Make sure you aren't running SkyWeather2 in the background and check again.

Not sure this is what is happening to you, but I’ve experienced a similar situation where the Pi no longer sees the dongle. I have to fiddle with the dongle and USB connection to bring the connection to the Pi back to life. Usually a quick double check of the connections between the antenna and the dongle body, and USB connection to the board solves the problem for me.
Thanks,
Jason

Over time, these dongles are going to fail. They run hot. Heat is the mortal enemy of all things electronic.

Thanks for the replies.
I made sure SkyWeather2 was not running before testing the adapter. I also plugged the adapter into each USB port without luck.
I just ordered a replacement and will post back here when it arrives any let everyone know if that solves the problem.
Thanks,
Kevin

The replacement SDR adapter restored full functionality to the SkyWeather2 software.

Great to see your system back online. Just in time to record some crazy weather data.
