Been talking to Mike about this one. It should be a pretty simple hack to add this as an interface --- the format is exactly an APRS WX posit missing only the call sign and path. It should be pretty easy to do. Another option, of course, could be to make a trivial (trivial) external hack that does nothing more than provide a TCP port to connect to, then strip off all the stuff to the left of the wind direction, and then serve it up to all connected clients. This would be basically what the Davis and LaCrosse external hacks do, but without any of the database access. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM In some cultures what I do would be considered normal. -- Ineffective daily affirmation _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
