• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Anyone here using EMWIN for mobile WX data?

I'm looking to get things going on my laptop, using the VHF EMWIN feeds that are available throughout the plains states.

Any suggestions on getting started?

I'm hoping that I can receive this feed mobile and have a "poor man's WXWORX", so to speak.

Thanks,

Sure thing.

I can easily check the local ones with my scanner.

I figure there has to be something there for mobile. Mobile sat is far from optimal.

If you can pick up a transmission, you'll need a demodulator, and a program to display the info.

I'm currently looking into this as well for the Peoria, IL area. We have a rebroadcast tower. I'm going to try and use my Kantronics KPC-3+ in Modem mode. The manual says you can use this for EMWIN. I'd mainly use it for skywarn around the local area, especially since I'm most likely going to use the TNC for APRS when chasing.

Take Care
