<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm not sure what is the reason to get both data
strings one starting with !! and another starting with $ULTW. If Ultimeter
is in Data Logging Mode, data starts with !! header. If Ultimeter is in Packet
Mode, data starts with $ULTW header. Just choose one of them.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Settings you gave below for KPC-3 are to connect
Ultimeter to TNC computer port. Before you go to INTFACE GPS, make sure GPSPORT
is set to zero.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There is another option, you can connect Ultimeter
output to KPC-3 radio port pin 2. Then you can leave INTFACE TERMINAL to monitor
packets and data buffered in LT. Settings I use in such option (U2000 packet
mode, SR3DGT <A

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Even if BLT 4 is set every 30 seconds, in fact, is
tx every 5 minutes. Ultimeter sends data in packet mode every 5 minutes. LT 4
buffer is cleared after tx. If buffer is empty, there is no tx. And wx data
is never older than 30 seconds.</FONT></DIV>

Station issues?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Been having one heck of a time getting my WX
station back on line. Did hard reset and programming per Bob's reccomendations
and still can't get the LTracks to copy the WX data. AB 2400, INTF GPS, GPSH 1
!!, GPSH 2 $ULTW, .... Once in a great while it will capture a line of data,
but then it will not update. I remotely access it wipe out the old data in LT
buffers and nothing. Laptop connected at same time as KPC-3 shows valid
streams of !!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx type data every second, so U-100 is
sending. In the past, turning off the KPC-3 and turning it on worked. Would
happen once every few months. Now I've swapped out TNC's, cables, power leads
(ground loop issues?), to no avail. Gonna put a U-500 up there now for a test,
but since the nearby lighting hit, it's temp is stuck on 108 deg even w/out
the probe connected! Anyone with similar issues? It's a solar powered site,
and TNC, IC-2000H, U-100 are in an insulated box. Heat from radio keeps inside
at 80+ degreres. I thought the issue was temp related, cause it would fail on
cold nights, below 22 deg F. That shouldn't be an issue now for all parts are
toasty, and were working for two months in new home until
recently.</FONT></DIV>
