APRS Weather Reporting

Steve,
I am successfully reporting my weather station to APRS using Cumulus (V1.8.8).

As a radio ham I am also providing an APRS Internet Gateway. The software I am using is UIView-32. At the moment I am having clashes in APRS between UIView-32 and Cumulus because both are using the same APRS ID (my ham callsign). UIView-32 does have a way of sending WX information to APRS but requires the weather station software to update a named file with the contents in a particular format.

I wonder if you know of UIView-32 and if so how I can get Cumulus to provide the WX data that UI-View requires ?

Regards,
Andrew

I'm sure we could get cumulus to create a file using webtags and the file processing feature already in Cumulus

Do you have a file sample?

Cumulus already automatically creates the wxnow.txt file that UIView requires.
