[wxqc] frustrations

[Richard]

So you're angry with Davis because you didn't ask questions and research it
before your purchase? Why not use the Weatherlink software and upload the
aprs weather data through the internet? It works for me.

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.
