V 1.92 APRS data faulty - wxnow.txt wrong?

[DW8006]

Hi all,
since i updated from 1.9.1 to the new 1.9.2 build 1017, i found that the APRS transmitted data looks wrong!?

if i compare wxnow.txt (aprs data) against realtime.txt, it shows that the pressure and humidity are not the same.


here are an example:
wxnow.txt
Oct 09 2011 11:31
180/000g003t049r000p3.3dP000h00b00096

realtime.txt
09.10.11 11:32:07 9.6 96 9.0 0.1 0.7 135 0.0 0.0 1021.1 SE 0 m/s C hPa mm 0.5 +0.2 21.9 206.7 8.7 11.5 68 9.6 +1.6 9.6 11:30 3.6 07:32 0.3 11:30 1.7 10:51 1021.4 10:40 1017.0 00:00 1.9.2 1017 1.4 9.6 10.4 0.0 0.0 0 183 0.0 1 1 0 S 75 m 9.3 0.0 404 0

You can also look at Ham Radio Network Weatherstation DG8JT-13 compared to CWOP Datas of Station DW8006- both should be the same.

Can somebody check there own APRS data, if my config is faulty or perhaps a bug in the software.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks Joachim

You're right, but I have no idea how that's happened. Of course, it was always going to be the case that someone found a major bug after I'd made the 1.9.2 beta into the release version

I'll see if I can work out what's gone wrong and fix it.

Edit: actually it's only the wxnow.txt file which is affected, the data sent to CWOP is OK. I guess this is why no-one spotted it earlier.

Here's a link to an updated zipped Cumulus.exe file with the fix. I'll do a 'proper' release later.

Hi Steve,

thank you for the very quick fix! It works now! All Datas looks ok!

Is this an inocuous bug? In other words, does anything actually use the wxnow.txt file? If the data sent to APRS is fine then I don't see this as a huge deal.

It's used by a program called ui-view, which I think is an alternative way for radio amateurs to get their data to APRS/CWOP.
