I'm pretty sure that Matt was talking about *RF spectrum* weather information here.
I've thought about this a few times too- would be an extremely useful product. Even more useful if it had enough intelligence to learn the TDD patterns of the owner's equipment, and listen during the guard intervals so that it showed spectrum conditions with the owner's equipment removed. Being able to see real-time spectrum conditions on an operating link is one of the most useful features on the Orthogon PTP radios, IMO.
