#3The website says they have 1033 transmitters and 33 are out/degraded. 96.8% of transmitters are working as expected which I think at least sounds reasonable

A little checking on archive.org shows an example of 15 outages. So it's pretty clear that 100% is not expected.

I have an AccuRite weather station, it has an indoor and outdoor component. The indoor display is connected via USB to a Pi running WeeWX under Raspbian. It works well, I would recommend it.
