I found the solution, because I have recycled the skin.conf file from 1.2 to 1.3 version it's seems you can insert this lines in skin.conf (1.2 version):

 radar_html = ""
  radar_html_dark = ""
  radar_width = 650
  radar_height = 360

and delete this line:

radar_marker = 1 and insert

# This is the display of the kiosk page which is kiosk.html
    radar_html_kiosk = ""
    radar_width_kiosk = 490
    radar_height_kiosk = 362
    mqtt_websockets_host_kiosk = ""
    mqtt_websockets_port_kiosk = ""
    mqtt_websockets_ssl_kiosk = ""
    forecast_interval_hours_kiosk = 24
    aqi_enabled_kiosk = 0

I believe the Belchertown settings in the weewx.conf file override the settings listed in the skin.conf file? So, if you we put the correct settings in weewx.conf, it should work fine.

I wonder why the "radar_marker = 1" is a problem? I note that the suggested Belchertown settings have # radar_marker=0 I wonder if Belchertown 1.3 works with "radar_marker=0"?

I am having similar issues now after trying to upgrade from 1.3b1 to 1.3.1. In my skin.conf file, I do not have "radar_marker = 1" and all of the suggested lines to add are already there. Weewx runs, but it is only grabbing data and putting it in the database...the webpage is not updating at all and I cannot run wee_reports.

Output of wee_reports: pi@WEEWX:~ $ sudo wee_reports Using configuration file /etc/weewx/weewx.conf Generating for all time Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/weewx/weewx/reportengine.py", line 204, in run obj.start() File "/usr/share/weewx/weewx/reportengine.py", line 300, in start self.run() File "/usr/share/weewx/user/belchertown.py", line 2771, in run special_target_unit File "/usr/share/weewx/user/belchertown.py", line 3737, in get_observation_data % (binding, obs_lookup, e) Warning: Error trying to use database binding wx_binding to graph observation outTemp. Error was: 'module' object has no attribute 'xtypes'.

Ideas? I could really use some help...I know just enough Linux to be dangerous, so consider me to be a noob, please. Thanks in advance!!!

This is still not fixed. I don't know what is wrong.
