• 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.

This is going to be the second season that I will be chasing with WxWorx. I know that it has only been available for the past two seasons, but I was wondering if those of you who have had it for the last two years experienced any problems that might have been avoided by some sort of maintenance?
 
I although this has been addressed on previous threads, the cord to the antenna is extremely flimsy. Definitely get a spare. I found one at Best Buy.

You need to change the oil on it every 6 months. :twisted:

When I had my wxworx (and still plan to get another one) I was going to get one of those marine XM antennas. Looked like it would stand the elements we put it through much more than the standard one. I took a small piece of wire loom and shielded the parts of my cable that were on the outside with it.
 
What I was wondering is whether it would be worth my while to send it in and have bluetooth installed, even though my laptop is not blue tooth equipped. On their web page they say it will only cost $200 provided nothing else is wrong. I thought if other people were having problems after a year, durability problems, that this might be an opportunity to have these problem fixed before chase season.

I have put all my chase stuff back in my truck already and everything seems to be working alright, however my WxWorx receiver has a rattle. It seems like two of the four screws that hold the unit together have broken. I am wondering how durable the units actually are and I would like to fix any problems before chase season starts.
