I never said I was putting up a digi.
I want to hear from people who have the Ultimeter 100 connected to both a WXTrak and the CAT1000.

They are totally separate services.. Are you trying to send the aprs audio over the repeater for some reason? Avoiding another antenna? Wouldn't you just want to have a separate radio, antenna, TNC and computer? If you are putting up a tiny track.all you an do is beacon the position of the repeater...why don't you just beacon out the coordinates of the repeater site from a station running UIview 24/7 already - or dedicate a station for this express purpose. Major considerations would really be around filtering RF from the national APRS freq of 144.39..and whatever your repeater freq is. You might be able to use a repeater to control a relay to kill the APRS power.but that is about the only thing I can think of. Perhaps you mean to use the weather station to get repeater site weather data..if that's the case put up a separate radio tnc etc and an antenna up 20' on the tower and let the local digipeaters take care of the coverage FWIW KC0SHM- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Besemer (WM4B) Sent: Saturday, January 12, 2008 10:01 AM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] APRS linking to CAT Controller Anybody got a Tinytrak linked to your CAT-1000 (or similar) controller? We just voted to put up an APRS station at the shack and it will ultimately be interfaced to our repeater. I'd appreciate hearing from those who've got it working.
