Looking at my weewx.conf file at the 'StdRESTfull' and 'CWOP' sections, I have 'enable' set to the, the 'station' is my callsign and the 'passcode' is my APRS passcode. IIRC that was all that I needed to do. It is all documented in the Weewx user guide. My weather data appears on the 'aprs.fi' site. Or am I missing something. Susan VK3ANZ
