Re: [Xastir] I think someone changed something about Weather Alerts
To get the lightning working again I had to change firenet to: Firenet.aprs2.net: t/n -s/w e/WE7U-WX/AE5PL-WX p/KJ4ERJ/WG3K So I'm getting things working better and better... -Original Message- From: David Flood [mailto:davi...@mindspring.com] Sent: Friday, September 14, 2018 20:03 To: 'Xastir - APRS client software discussion' Subject: RE: [Xastir] I think someone changed something about Weather Alerts Ah Ha...a little progress..

Re: [Xastir] I think someone changed something about Weather Alerts
I inject two types of lightning objects into firenet.us from KJ4ERJ-LS. There are SZ-* objects that light up grid squares and are located at the centroid of the strikes over the past 10 minutes. The comment should contain the count of strikes in that gridsquare. And there are LS-* objects that represent each individual strike. But if there are more than one strike in a given 6 character gridsquare in the past 10 minutes, the smaller square is outlined and filled with color depending on how many strikes are within it. All of these objects are killed when no longer necessary. SZ-* objects are killed when there have been no strikes in the past 10 minutes in that square. LS-* objects are killed after 10 minutes, or in the case of 6 character gridsquare objects, when the count goes to zero after 10 minutes. Note that these objects use the MultiLine format to describe the area, but specifically do not otherwise comply with being "NWS Objects" per the published spec. Lynn (D) - KJ4ERJ - Author of APRSISCE for Windows Mobile and Win32 PS. You can see the active counts of these various objects in KJ4ERJ-LS's telemetry: https://aprs.fi/telemetry/a/KJ4ERJ-LS?range=day On 9/14/2018 9:20 PM, David Flood wrote: I wasn't seeing any of the expected Wx Alerts in Xastir related to the hurricane so I un-filtered my Firenet feed and just used the "f" filter with a couple of South Carolina stations entered so I'm not pulling the entire feed for world-wide... Now I'm seeing county boundaries and irregular polygons light up due to xmitted objects but View / Weather Alerts remains blank. If I "Station Info" the object, it came from AE5PL-WX so I think something got changed about the format of Weather Alerts again... There's also another station that appears to be putting out a lighting strike object that lights up the border of the entire grid square around the object Any idea what's going on?
