I just got an interesting request from one of the users of my APRS software for an odd new capability. Specifically, they wanted to be able to Tx-I-gate weather data from weather stations only connected to APRS-IS (i.e., without radios).<br>
This request seems like something that would clutter the local RF channel without adding value.<br>
However, it did bring up another related question: can weather be reported as APRS Objects rather than as station position reports? This would make sense if the weather sensors were not co-located with the radio station, but were a distance away sufficiently large that assuming co-location would introduce noticeable error.<br>
Just curious whether NWS and other consumers of APRS-transferred weather data would be able to process APRS Objects with weather data in them. I'm assuming such Objects would use the APRS weather station symbol code.<br>
