Take a look at wview for *nix. Works well with the VP series of stations.

Fred,
I have a little bit of a unique situation. My WX Station is a Davis
Vantage Pro. The only way to get the VP to work with XASTIR on Linux is
software called Meteo. Now, I'm not a Linux genius, or a complete
newbie either, but Meteo uses MySql and is very difficult to set up.
Almost none of the instructions that came with the package worked on my
Ubuntu System. So since I could not get Meteo working, I needed to find
another way to get my WX station on APRS. The software package I'm
using to log WX Data from the VP and create my WX Website is called
WView. I got that set up on my system in about two hours. The problem
is it does not interface with Xastir, so I needed to find another way of
beaconing my WX Data to RF. This whole thread was about getting Xastir
to gate my, and only my, WX from the net to RF.
N1NAZ is doing what you may call the "normal" way to do multiple
stations. I too have APRS in my truck as N3QD-9. His -4 (HF Digi) was
last received 42 days ago and is likely off the air now. If I were able
to get Meteo working, my WX would be a different SSID under my callsign
too. I could not do that in this case because Xastir would not gate my
callsign from IP to RF. That's why I had to use a tactical callsign as
my station call. This is all a big workaround because Xastir doesn't
directly support the Vantage Pro, and I wanted my WX on the local RF
network. I had to do the same thing in a different way with UI-View.
Make sense?

Okay I am confused, why not do something like this guy?

N1NAZ is a vehicle
N1NAZ-1 is the WX
N1NAZ-4 looks like a digi and igate
N1NAZ-5 looks like a digi and igate
-5 looks like duplication of -4.
I looked at N1IIC's stations and he has -3 as a IGate and -4 as a
Digi. He
is mobile somewhere else in the country as -14.

What is the "normal" way to do multiple stations? Is there a better way?
Best regards,
Fred
