Unable to complete Inquiry: [FPUS62.KRAH] at 2025/01/23 19:33 The probable reason was:

Unknown Inquiry ID -- [FPUS62.KRAH].

Please refresh the catalog if it hasn't been accomplished recently. This will remove old, discontinued, and broken entries and add any new ones.

How would I refresh the catalog? On both rpi and x86 installations?

Thank you for your recommendation(s)

Additionally,
?
I am going to guess that the link at NOAA has changed.
?
I looked at the weather.txt file in patmenu2, but I did not see in that file, the actual full url to the NOAA site, or how the city *code* is then appended to that URL.? ?And, surfing a bit at NOAA, it looks like those old locations/links are not available anymore?
?
So,
does anyone know to where the links for the NOAA text based forecasts have been moved?
Where in the patmenu configuration would I edit/specify the new url location?
?
Finally,
FLDIGI can, by a configuration wx option, specify from where to pull decoded METAR wx summaries for particular 4 letter airport names.? This is very handy for those whose hoe or portable operation is significantly near an airport.? If I can substitute that same url (that FLDIGI uses) for the older PAT weather Inquiry url, then I could retrieve and send out those decoded METAR reports -- but again, I do not know where or how to locate and edit that PAT MENU configuration fully.
?
Any help is greatly appreciated.? Thank you,

FYI Catalog Manager is Kevin N7BO ?khedgepe ?at ?

Ken N7BO looks after the Winlink Catalog. Pat Winlink pulls that data down from the cloud. I would post on the Pat user group to see if it's one of Martin script. Just my 00.02 worth.

It looks like that your "zone" has been removed from that winlink catalogue.

You can fetch a new list by sending a winlink mail to INQUIRY, use the
subject REQUEST and write the body of the mail LIST

#v+
From: OE7DRT
Subject: REQUEST
To: INQUIRY

LIST
#v-

Give the system some time to fulfill your request, then fetch your
mails, where a response from SERVICE should be in (will be big ~1200
lines).

In the column of INQUIRY_ID you find the requests that you can send.

Dominic: Thanks for the reminder of the LIST request.

Karl: I created an for this. I have zero control over what is in the actual Winlink catalog. Pat Menu catalog requests are merely shortcuts to the actual Winlink catalog features. The best work around would be to use GPS weather in Pat Menu.
