Adding the weather data to the digipeater isn't going to overly complicate anything, it is just one additional object packet transmitted every ~7.4 minutes.<div><br></div><div>I can see the reasoning for changing the weather station at -112 from solely a CWOP station (EW0687 for those interested) to a APRS WX station but I'm confused as to why an I-gate is <i>needed</i> at N0CXX? There are already two full-time I-gates and at least three others that can be pressed into service in Linn county, spanning two ISPs and that's not counting additional ones in range of K0HAM-9 and K0HAM-10. I think you would be better served by having the the ability to access the RF APRS network from the computer(s) in -112 rather than implementing an I-gate.</div>
