APRS-FI Info data for WX STN
« on: April 05, 2010, 08:48:01 AM »
Can somebody tell me what the WD 59 refers to in the Info section of APRS-FI Google Maps

G4MHJ-13  13m45s .WD 59

I have a couple of friends who have WD 60.

Is it a reference to my weather station manufacture?  The two friends have the same unit whereas I have a different one.

Just curious.

I think it's a reference to the version of wd you may be running.  I'm currently running wd version 10.37 and my aprs data ends with WD 10.  But that's just a guess

Mac or PC?  I know that the build numbers are different between all the different platforms.  I'm pretty sure Mac is up to bld 60 right now.

Makes sense now; mine has the same (59) at the end and I have a Honeywell (Irox)
