We had a couple of Tornado Warnings from MLB here today, associated with
Tropical Storm Andrea.
I did not receive any alerts from firenet . Plenty of other data, but no Wx
Alerts.
I have Wx alert Logging turned on, nothing logged.
What am I missing?
When I look at incoming data and disconnect/reconnect to the internet server, I
see one of these:
N5JXS-F1
WE7U-F1
WE7U-F2
Those are the three Firenet servers. So that's the first check, make sure it's
one of those three. The last time we had a problem it was because other
aprs2.net servers were getting into the Firenet rotation for DNS.
Next is filter strings. Here's mine:
m/500 t/n e/WE7U-WX p/QUAKE o/ISS*/STEAM/UP844
It's the "t/n e/WE7U-WX" portion that's important for what you're after.
I'm seeing lots of areas lit up in yellow/red/blue in Florida right now, as
well as green rectangles and blue flood warning symbols. I don't currently see
tornado symbols but have seen them on the map in the last day or so. To see
these you need:
Station->Filter Data->Select Objects/Items ON
Station->Filter Data->Select Other Objects/Items ON
Of course no delivery of these to your screen is guaranteed: Several things
must be working perfectly in unison for the alerts to actually show up on your
Xastir screen. Any time you think there's a problem though I want to hear
about it. The last time things weren't working it was due to that Firenet DNS
issue, which required human intervention to fix.
