Is anyone using Weather Display 9.65b out there ? I just upgraded to that on
a new/old computer and turned on the WXNOW.TXT feature on. I see the file in
the proper location for UI-View but it is not showing up. It had worked
before, I am thinking a change was made and parsing problem on APRS is now
apparent.
Does anyone else see this problem ?

The first is a flood watch with over 30 counties- there is a limit of 25
counties to keep from cloging the system.
The second was parsed and sent properly- lack of reception on the other
end can be any number of APRS-IS problems.
The third and fourth are status messages not parsable- if you are not
seeing the severe thunderstorm and Tornado watch boxes, you are not
running xastir- it is the only client I know of that plots them.

No problems here, Rich. I have had no interruptions with the weather data
using this program. The current version is now 9.67. My guess is that you
upgraded from a much older version of the program to 9.65b. I have noticed
in the past that sometimes when I skip a bunch of releases and finally
update, so many changes have been made that I have to go back and redo some
of the settings. Make sure to check the date of the computer as well - I
have had that problem before. Open the WXNOW.TXT file in notepad and check
to see that the information is in good shape and the date is correct.

Interesting... I checked the date on both the UI-View machine and the
Weather Display machine and the dates are correct and time is off by just a
few seconds. I have never looked at the WXNOW.TXT so I don't know what the
format is but I will see if I can figure it out.
Currently set up to save the WXNOW.TXT file in the UI-View root directory
via a networked drive and the mapping is confirmed. I tried to run UI-View
and WeatherDisplay on the same PC but it creates problems with lockups that
are not traceable. Roger suggested to change the Video card but I really
don't want to spend $$ on a PIII 500 that I only use for
APRS,EchoLink/EchoStation. Maybe I will break down and see if I can find a
cheap card but PC's are cheaper than that on trash day!

This is what my WXNOW.TXT file looks like. It is two lines:

Hmm... I run them on the same PC, which is a dual xeon 450 running Windows
2k Server. I can only suggest to make sure that UI-View is indeed looking
in the correct spot for the file. Check to see that the file is actually
in that directory. I had a problem with WXDisplay once where I thought I
had set the directory path, and in fact it did not take. I'm sure you
already checked this, but I can't think of anything else to suggest! 73

I know of a couple of places to get it in ESRI Shapefile format,
but not in the original Tiger/Line format.

I am having a problem where I can see replay of tracks of other mobiles but
mine doesn't show up either in part or in entirety. I can see another local
mobile show up from Detroit to Midland, MI., which is 150 miles but I can't
see my track from Saginaw to Midland and back which is about a 25-30 mile
trip. I use a D700A and Garmin 12 GPS. I get periodic acknowledgement of
my transmissions from other stations and the MY POS info shows up to signify
this. When I get home and want to replay my trip it doesn't show up. I
have altered my power output from 10 watts to 50 watts and no Joy. I have
stopped transmitting on the B side while APRS is on the A side and still no
Joy. I believe I have verified that GPS data is coming into the radio as
well.
Can anyone give me some suggestions?
