Not sure what the current status is with the CWOP servers, but they mentioned on the listserv that “TCPXX*, qAX.” should actually be “TCPIP*”. Last I heard not all their servers were requiring this change, so depending on what server you connect to in the rotation might explain why your data is not showing up.
oohh, then It is my mistake, as I don’t have any server and port set in the config.txt.
Here is what I have in the config.txt that relates to CWOP:
Do CWOP updates=Y //every 10 minutes
CWOP station id=EW3457
CWOP ham call sign=-1 // -1 is default (you do not have a Ham call sign)
CWOP Latitude=4650.97N
CWOP Longitude=00734.37E
I thought these CWOP settings were enough to make it work. How and what should I specify for the server and port here in the config.txt?
By the way I also have a hamradio callsign, so I am interested to use that for CWOP as well.
OK, no problem at all, please just let me know when I can test your update on CWOP with Raspberry Pi. Thank you
In the mean time I am testing the stability on the Raspberry, I installed the latest wheezy image on it and did an update and only a FTP server is running on it plus the consolewd. It seems to be stable but only I have been using it for a few days so far.

and even if I modify the data= in the this file to

Thank you very much for the fix. Now it is working fine with the CWOP weather station ID.
If I want to use my hamradio callsign, what should I modify?
I just entered it in the config.txt after CWOP ham call sign=
and also into the wdconsole.ini but I can not see it on the APRS.FI.
Do I need to add something else in the config in that case?
It would be great to use with hamcall as well.
I had a problem with CWOP/aprsnetwork not updating properly. I figured out that my virus software was disabling the croncwop,exe therefore not letting data be sent. I disabled AVG virus protection, reinstalled the latest update from weather display and now everything is working properly
