Purpose:

Send your stations weather observations to a third party for use by the public, or other Governmental or non-governmental forecasting agencies. Make sure the main internet switch is ON in the connections setup in the FTP/internet setup.

The following procedure applies to:

   * Anything Weather
   * APRS / CWOP
   * Weather for you / Ham Weather
   * Weather Underground

For all of the following you must have an Internet connection. Click here to set that up now if you haven't already.

Go to the Setup menu, then control panel and click on "setup Wunderground or Weather for you icons".

Select the service you wish to set up.

Click on the link to go to the sign up page, and note any ID, password, or other information assigned to you.

When you get your assigned station ID and Password, etc. return to the setup screen and enter them.

Select the times to upload the data, then turn the switch on ( so it shows green), then try a test by clicking on Test. You should be able to see your data when you click on view data. You can select the cloud type to include in the data, or you can include the weather conditions from a Metar you have downloaded and have selected ( see the section on Metar download in this help file). Finally, make sure the main internet switch is ON (green) in the connections setup in the setup ftp/internet/ etc window.
