[wxqc] frustrations

[Don Jeerings]

It's as simple as this...

The Davis unit requires a 6540 weatherlink for APRS  at $195 

I bought a Davis (wired) Vantage pro II  that came with a 6510Ser unit that I paid $165 extra for that will not work with the BYONICS Tiny Trak3 or any other TNC (terminal node controller)  that I can find. 

When I purchased the Davis unit, there was no mention of the need and availably of the 6540 unit for APRS transmissions. 

This has become a big issue with at least 60 SKYWARN Florida Radio operators in the hurricane prone central Florida area and is a major subject on the weekly SKYWARN net operated by volunteers with the National Weather Service. 

I am frustrated and feel that I have been taken advantage of.
