I'd be willing to pay for the subscription. I would want to make sure that I'm not going to have the same font issues I am having now. Anyone know if the placefiles have been updated to work with 4k on Allisonhouse? I see they have a 7 day trial so I can check it out I guess before I commit to anything.

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.

I just logged into my Allisonhouse account and learned a little.
Once you have a subby and an online account set up, you log in, go to "My Account", then under Data Feeds click on Gibson Ridge. You will then have all the available placefiles listed. For METARS, click on "configure". Once there, you can set the font size. Mine is set at 11, but you would want something much larger than that for 4k. I don't know what would be the largest allowable setting. Also, the URL that needs to be entered into your GRL placefile manager to get it working is right at the top of that page with a "copy" button for your convenience.
