[aprssig] Davis Vantage Vue and RF APRS

[bob evinger]

I switched away from Davis after my Davis weather station failed of old 
age.  Have been using an Ambient Weather station for a little over a year.

I had written my own custom Davis weather poller through that serial 
device and used it for i am thinking 10-15 years.  Davis does have an 
API document describing the commands. It is not exactly a modern 
interface.  I wrote mine in C.

If you are wanting to interact with it, at least 15 years ago i didnt 
have to jump through any hoops to get Davis to send me the documentation 
on it. I looked and couldnt readily find it. I still have the C code but 
not sure i would share that even with someone i didnt like. I wrote it 
for my use only and this much time elapsed apparently  i didnt like 
myself :)
