We're in the middle of updates to our whole APRS product line right
now and I'm going to take another look at a lot of stuff I've had on
the back burner. We've been very busy with non-ham projects for the
last year and a half or more but I've got another engineer working
for me now and another programmer and more in-house production
capability. We also have a thousand wind/rain sensor assemblies in
stock that could use a more plug-and-play APRS electronics package
to go with them.<br>
<br>
Hopefully I'll make it back to Dayton next year and have a bunch of
new stuff to show.<br>

I'd want to use any of the electronics from a 1995
design. You could do it smaller, cheaper, and
with less power today. Bosch Sensortec's new
pressure/humidity/temperature/gas sensors measure
3 x 3 x 1 millimeters. I'm thinking about using
those in the next version of the ADS-WS1.<br
