Of course, this only works if you have a working Internet connection and the same for the Internet site you are sending your data to (the APRS-IS is highly redundant if you choose to use one of the regional rotate names rather than a single hard-coded server address; I can't speak for other weather-data-consuming services).
My local ARES/RACES group has weather stations all over our county using RF to deliver the data to an I-gate physically located at the county Department of Emergency Services office, so they can get the data even if there are Internet outages (peeling it off before the I-gate sends it to the APRS-IS).

Just some info. You can get your weather data broadcast over the internet and it will show on APRS just like an RF broadcast one. I can find the info and website I used. It’s a national weather link.

Hi All,
Maybe this has been asked but I cant find anything. I am trying to setup my RF port to beacon the weather and position but no matter what I do I cant get the weather to be beaconed with the position.
