The below forward is FYI. I'd be interested in hearing if Xastir does the proper thing with negative temps for those using the wx200 daemon. This is a good time of year to check your negative temps against findu or AprsWorld.

As it comes when the temp dips below zero it outputs the temperature parameter as "-7". This may have caused the temperature not to decode properly in some applications. I found this using FINDU but it may be the case with others as well... so here was a quick fix: on line 270 of wx200.c change: sprintf(tmpbuf,"%+02.0f",unit_temp(wx.temp.out.n,1)); to sprintf(tmpbuf,"%+03.0f",unit_temp(wx.temp.out.n,1)); then: make make install This will out put the temp as "-07" and seems to make FINDU happy. Just for the record I'm not picking on findu It's just the only app I had access to at that moment. -- Ryan Tourge - K2RRT -- Ryan Tourge - K2RRT _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
