Wx station identifiers
开云体育Hi Lynn, I was looking at my weather station I transmit, and in the info box when clicked upon it give the detailed info. Ie temp,? wind, rain etc. It also shows a unit field as well. I was guessing this was to define what weather station you
are using, but after playing a bit with cumulus changing the comment to Davis Vantage Vue then over to Dvs as recommended in the 101 file, it still says Unit: UnknownP(Dvs).?
Any assistance you can provide??

开云体育Sorry about that! KB3KBR-WX is the call. In the attached screenshots one is chapter 12 of APRS 101 with the unit string. The other is my station where I've applied Dvs.?

开云体育Apparently you've fixed your issue.? I just took a raw packet from aprs.fi KB3KBR-1>APWW11,TCPIP*,qAC,T2PR:;KB3KBR-WX*161612z4124.48N/07942.59W_289/000g003t015r000p000P000h69b10093.DsVP
Battery 4.73, Temp In 75.4 and pasted it into an APRSIS32 instance and got the following (Unit: Davis Vantage Pro): And then I checked my full feed for KB3KBR-WX and see the same
information.?? Do you mind sharing what you found to be the
problem? Lynn (D) - KJ4ERJ - Author of APRSISCE

开云体育Actually I saw a station north if me in Canada that had it and just copied it. However I'm running a Vantage vue and not the pro but I can't seem to find a list of equipment types out there to distinguish between the 2. So for now it's close
enough.?

开云体育If anyone has a list of equipment types that they can share that would be great.
So far I've figured out DsVP will decode as Vantage pro but I have a Vue and can't find the list anywhere.?

开云体育I run cumulus which also makes a wxnow.txt file. They just recently added the ability to put a comment behind the weather string. Adding .DsVP will tell at least 32 you have a Vantage pro but I can't find the list to show the difference between
a pro, pro 2 or the vue.?

开云体育This is APRSIS32's list, basically just the list from page 63 aprs101.pdf. } WeatherUnits[] = { {"DsVP","Davis Vantage Pro"}, /* K0GDI */ {"Dvs","Davis"}, {"HKT","Heathkit"}, {"PIC","PIC device"}, {"RSW","Radio Shack"}, {"U2kr","Remote Ultimeter logger"}, {"Upkm","Remote Ultimeter packet mode"}, {"U-II","Original Ultimeter U-II (auto mode)"}, {"U2R","Original Ultimeter U-II (remote mode)"}, {"U2k","Ultimeter 500/2000"}, {"U5","Ultimeter 500"} }; I don't know of any official additions to this list, but the spec does say:
Users may specify any other 2–4 character code for devices not in this list.But of course, any additional codes would not have a human readable expansion. Maybe a job for the upcoming APRS Foundation? Lynn (D) - KJ4ERJ - Author of APRSISCE
