SimWx Question for Tom (or anyone)

Any reason why SimWx isn't updating my PS1 weather? It connects to the internet and finds the nearest reporting station just fine. It also displays the METAR fine on the SimWx screen, but the info doesn't make it to PS1 or the Broker. When I hit Utilities / Met Decoding, and then Instant Weather Status, the screen that comes up says: "Variables currently being submitted to PS1:" but all of these are blank. For example:

AltoTop=
AltBottom=
NimTop=
NimBottom=
Rain=
Visibility=
Windaloft=
RunwayWind=
Baro=
(etc.)

Despite this, the file debug_weather.txt contains this:

KBOS 281854Z 13024G29KT 2 1/2SM -RA BR OVC009 10/08 A2992 RMK AO2 PK WND 12030/1813 SFC VIS 6 RAE06B40 SLP130 P0000 T01000083

Local IP address= 127.0.0.1

Any ideas? Thanks.
