Setting up aprs

I’m a bit slow so if someone please give step by step instructions for setting up CWOP. many Thanks John

Hi
the first step is to sign up and get a Citizens weather number
click on the link in the CWOP setup page, if you have not already done that
then you need to enter your lat and long
where about do you live?

and then turn the swotch ON, and set the update times
also, make sure you have the main internet switch ON, under setup, control panel, ftp/internet setup, connection (and tick permanent conneciton if you have broadband)

I’ve followed your insructions. I live in Port Deposit, Maryland USA. I have done everything that you have said to do ( I belive that I had done all of that before) Like I stated early I can be a bit slow :oops:

what is showing up under view, ftp log??

there should be something about trying to upload APRS…

Hopefully this will help John

hi
you have web upload times set in the ftp/internet setup
clear all those
as you are not wanting to do any FTP (you dont have a ftp server setup for starters)
try that first up

Hi all.

Hi Windy

I intentionally ***** to hide my data.

However the number i use is my UI-View reg number. Have emailed Russ
Maybe thats why its not working.

However i did try it with my CWOP ID instead of callsign and didn’t work either
Cheers

Hi again

Well i have done an uninstall and cleared the registry.
Re-installed, re setup and used My CW number.

Still no data when i select VIEW YOUR DATA

confused now

00000.37W

i see you are very close to greenwich
i wonder if that is a problem
email
[email protected]
Russ Chadwick
and email him what you posted here, re the ftp log full details, and see if he can see the data coming through the system

i see the problem now
53.7815N
should be
5378.15N
as per the example on the setup page
i have a new button: check lat/long, that will tell you things like, the . is in the wrong place…

Thanks

That did the trick.

I also sorted out my UI-View problem. By networking both my PC’s and directing UI-View to my WD file on other PC.

All seems to be fine at the moment.
Thanks for everyones help
Regards
Tony

THANKS AGAIN
