WeatherLink APRS - 6540

For ham radio operators, including storm chasers and volunteer weather watchers. Connects a Vantage console, or Weather Envoy to a ham radio or TNC modem for instant transmission of both your location and the local weather conditions via APRS (Automated Position Reporting System). Data submitted via APRS lets emergency personnel map changing weather conditions in real-time, and also helps the National Weather Service develop improved weather prediction models.

At the same time the data logger simultaneously logs and stores the data, which can later be downloaded to your PC for all the graphing, charting, and analysis included with our standard WeatherLink.

Expanded Reporting

• More Weather Data. View weather information not available on the console, including heating degree days, cooling degree days, and heating demand.
• Optional Sensor Reporting. With optional UV and solar radiation sensors, get details on sunburn risk and solar energy.
• Moon Phase. With Vantage Pro2 and Vantage Vue, you can see the phase of the moon right on the console.

Analysing, Storing and Sharing Your Weather Data

• Create Your Own Reports. Data can be exported to most popular spreadsheets, databases, and word processing programs.
• Weather Website. Create a weather website or post weather conditions to a LAN. Add graphs, text lines, or scrolling ticker tapes, and upload other files (such as webcam images) along with weather data.
• Weather Around the World. Join other weather enthusiasts and share your weather station data with others from around the world.
• Citizen Weather Observer Program. Submit your data to the National Weather Service to help develop improved weather prediction models.
