Weather Station that works best with ui-view

I am looking to purchase Weather Station Equipment. In the past I have used cheap plastic Watson equipment which seems to break every few months.. Each monitor is a separate plastic box and each monitor takes it turn in malfunctioning. So I want a reliable weather station that will continue to transmit through UI-View preferably through software that is also reliable and free. So weather station equipment that links to UI-View and a PC and is reliable....please advise thanks M1DOZ/MB7UWM Dave

Dave,

I have a Peet U2000 that has been in a solar powered wx staion for over
20 years (K4AG-3). Also supplied dozens of them to stations around the
Caribbean area as part of a NOAA project. It plugs into a serial port,
or usb if you use a dongle, with no problem.

I know you uninstalled it from Program Files, but is the installation

If so, try manually deleting the installation folder below Program Files

Re: Registration Number Invalid

 

When I updated my registration recently due to a call sign change, I found
that what was listed for my NAME was not my name as I submitted for
registration. I first entered my name as I had submitted it for
registration. That didn't work. Then I tried what was on the web page and
email. That worked. Check your registration carefully and enter that
exactly and see if it works.

UI-View website:

UI-View Registration:
Select language & fill in your name and call sign. Return later to collect your registration.

APRS Server List: To update the APRS Server List, change the download URL to... aprs2.net/APRServe2.txt

For North American users, PMap 9 (Precision Mapping 9.0) along with PMapServer 9 can provide street level mapping for all of North America. They can be installed without hassle on Windows 7 & 8. PMapServer is available for download on the UI-View website. However, Undertow Software is no longer selling new copies of PMap 9, but existing owners can continue to use it as long as they can get it registered.

Users of anything newer than Windows XP should not install UI-View below Program Files. Instead, create a folder elsewhere. To view UI-View's built-in context sensitive help file, download and install WinHlp32.exe.

I have some problems with registration ui-view32.
A name and a call sign would go a long way towards encouraging people to try and help you.

When you return to the registration page do you see the registration number and the APRS validation number?

File - About Bouncing (Admin message)

 

This message is sent to all new members, and to all members
every now and then. It has been revised as bounce reports have
changed a bit.

Any of us could experience no longer receiving email from the
UI-View support list. You might want to print this message and
review it if you stop receiving messages from the UI-View list.

If you stop receiving messages from the UI-View list, suspect
that either...

1) this or some other Yahoo group that you are a member of is
sending email which some spamblocker system regard as spam or
junk mail (quite a lot of these reports since summer 2009).

2) it may be that your email account has filled up with unread
messages or that the account on your mail server has ran out of
storage space. Read or delete the old messages on your mail server.

3) Some MSN or Hotmail accounts, and others such as arrl.net,
qsl.net which are used as a forwarding address from time to time
cannot forward to your primary address. When this hapens, the
Yahoo group receives an error message with something like
"impossible to relay to xxx" and you are then in the "bounced"
list. There are increasing numbers of bounces from some service
providers about messages which are blocked by them for policy
reasons.

4) You or your email provider have set up a challenge-and-response
system for those sending e-mail to you. The moderators will not
send replies to such challenges. You should select another
address for your list membership(s).

Sorry, but we cannot investigate every one of these blockings.
Please be aware that if you haven't received list messages
for some days, and reactivation requests are not reaching
you, or not answered by you, your account at the UI-View
list may be deleted. It may deleted if several bounces occur
in less than a week or two. It will also be deleted if the
bounce report says that your address is invalid, discontinued,
or unknown. Be aware that the bounce can relate to messages
from other lists than the UI-View list if you are a member
of other Yahoo groups.

If your membership is deleted, you will not be able to log
into the Yahoo group. If you try and send email to the group,
it will be rejected. However, you can subscribe again with a
valid and working email account by sending an empty email to
ui-view-subscribe@....

If you are away for some time, you might want to set your
account to temporarily receive only special messages or
even no email at all, but we recommend that still receive
special messages. You can log into the Yahoo group when you
return and change it back to daily digest or normal email.

Note: A member may send reactivation requests to himself/herself
from the Email Preferences section of My Groups.

73 and good luck - your UI-View group moderators


File - Posting guidelines

 

The UI-View Group is very active. Most already do so,
but here are some some guidelines to follow.

1. Civility... this is practiced well by our members!

2. Sign your messages with your name and callsign.

3. Only post messages and responses that are relevant to UI-View.

4. Use plain text for messages sent to the UI-View support list.
When you address some 5000 recipients, you cannot know what their
email readers do with HTML formatted messages. Some will experience
unreadability.

5. IMPORTANT: When replying to a posting (message), kindly delete
all unnecessary text including the trailing text. Only leave the
poster's name, callsign and the time stamp, and the text from
the prior message about which you are commenting, and then trim
the rest. When viewing messages in the Yahoo web based interface,
the command [Up Thread] at the top of the message can be used, and
many email clients can group messages by thread also. Some members
have slow connections or pay for bandwidth. Brevity can often
also improve the clarity of your message. Do not top post... i.e.
do not type your reply above the quoted text.

6. When replying to a post, please decide if your comment should
go to the entire group of about 5000 or directly to the author.
Please think before replying to the group... replies like "I sure
do agree with that" do not add much to the group. Send thoughts
like those directly to the poster please.

7. Postings of sale or swapping of items are not wanted.

8. New members are all moderated for a number of postings. If the
messages follow the guidelines, they are approved and the member
is changed to un-moderated status.

This is a partially moderated list, i.e., only the user's first
messages are moderated, but all messages are monitored after posting.
If an un-moderated posting is found by the moderators to have a
problem, then the poster is changed to moderated status and in
most cases also contacted directly to resolve whatever has caused
the problem.

Actions are taken against those that chronically violate the rules.
The reason for this form of moderation is to block spammers from the
list and it is working well.

9. Do not add disclaimers to your posts that (1) restrict the ability
of other members to use the information you post, (2) claim a copyright
to your post, or (3) to claim any type of "rights" as a consequence of
another member replying to your post either directly to you or to the group.

10. Do not use anti-spam tools like challenge/response; the moderators
will not respond, and since messages to you then will bounce, you most
probably will be removed as a user of the group.


Re: Not working

 

It is working now. Checked everything suggested, even changed the server. Nothing worked. Compared my APRS server number I had put in to the one written down, and found that I had a wrong digit in the number. Fixed it.
All that work for a wrong number. Lesson learned. Thank you everybody.

Re: Not working

 

I don't know if is up-to-date, but the Nebraska
server doesn't seem to show up there. It seems like it's a lot more
difficult to come up with a list of servers and their status pages than
it used to be.
It seems that all the obsolete server calls like nebraska are forwarded to
rotate.aprs2.net.

Does N7ZEF-3 have a validated server connecttion? Otherwise we can not see
it.

You may be connected to that server but if you are, it doesn't look like you have sent any position reports to it. I just don't see any evidence that N7ZEF-3 has ever connected to a server.

Double-check your call sign in the station setup. Make sure the unproto address shown there is still APRS. While there, check your fixed and Internet beacon rates.

In the APRS server setup, do you have "open the gateway" etc. enabled? Is your APRS validation number entered? Do you have "APRS server login required" enabled? Do you also have "auto reconnect" enabled? Do you have a port number entered after nebraska.aprs2.net? This would typically be 14580.

I don't know if is up-to-date, but the Nebraska server doesn't seem to show up there. It seems like it's a lot more difficult to come up with a list of servers and their status pages than it used to be.

What call sign & SSID are you using for the iGate? I can't see anything

It shouldn't matter that you are using a wireless connection, but using
XP online is risky. It is no longer supported and there will never be
any new security updates or bug fixes for it. With that said, I'm sure
there are others still using it too.
