Data File for APRS with UI View

Post by wb2ftx »

Does Cumulus generate a weather data file in APRS format that I can use to send weather information with the ham radio UI View software or is it only limited to sending data via the Internet to the CWOP/APRS servers?

Secondly does anyone know anything about Weatherwise Instruments weather stations. Will Cumulus work with one of these? Is it made by Fine Offset for instance??

Yes, it creates a file called wxnow.txt once a minute, in its program folder.

Yes, Weatherwise stations are rebadged Fine Offset stations, and hence work with Cumulus.
