Subject: ID-5001 Weather station + WinAPRS bugs?
From: "Earl S. Garber" <n3eg@teleport.com>
Date: Fri, 14 Feb 2003 15:24:49
X-Message-Number: 18
I recently connected a Heathkit ID-5001 weather station to my home APRS
station and noticed two strange things. First, the indoor temperature is
off by a factor of 0.1, showing 7 instead of 70. Second, the wind and gust
are reversed, showing 4/3 on the map window instead of 3/4. Are these
known bugs, and will they be fixed in a Pmap 3.0 compatible future WinAPRS
release?
I'd post this in the APRS WX list, but this seems to be more of a WinAPRS
issue...

The PCSAT BBS is working fine. Not very crowded either...
On another note, K4HG just did another dump of all the users that have
sent packets via PCSAT and I have added a link to the list on the PCSAT
page below. Numbers are 1950 separate users in 18 months. Statistics
remain about the same, that is, about 35% USA users and 65% are
international..

Remember, PCSAT has a second BBS with an unpublished uplink for special
applications, but so far no one has signed up to use it. I guess with the
internet being EVERYWHERE these days, the needs for actually sending real
store-and-froward traffic via satellites is drying up... Though I am not
complaining, because any messages will only last for 2 weeks before PCsat
returns to eclipse season and then can only be used in daylight again and
it will loose all messages on the first low-power reset...

Can anybody see anything wrong with this packet:
W5TQ-4>ID,qAR,KA5KTH:!3019.36N/09747.96WnPHG6430/WIDE ARES Travis Cty -
Austin, Texas ARESTC
I was near this station recently, and every time it transmitted,
either my TNC or my HamHUD would lock up. Is there something wrong here?
Thanks,
Earl
