Alternative Software
« on: July 24, 2008, 03:06:16 PM »
  :?:Does anybody know of  any alternative software (peferably free)
to replace heavy weather with?
 It just seems once you get on issue worked out of it ,another
arises.
 I would just like to have another option to explore.

                                                               Thanx Again for hints & ideas

Hi Hewy,
Sure do have a recommendation. Best around I think. 8-)
WUHU is it. You can check out the group at

A list is available at...

Some is free, some costs some, some work with all stations, some with only one.  :D

although its a steep learning curve, and is lacking in a good manual (but there are lots of online help), weather display is worth looking at, as it does alot with your data (i.e climate reports etc)

I'm curious.  They're  not on the same computer, are they?  I have a 2315 and a 968, but I can run one at a time on the computer.

I have to agree! Good Program!!! I am using it as a local copy here on the network.. If there was an easier way to get it to update my  web site without a major re write of the site I'd be using it there as well!! Actually when I have an all out failure here I do use it to send data to WU, CWOP, PWS and where ever else I can send it.  Kinda of a  soft fail safe ..

If I had the available bandwidth on my connection I would consider another site to check out WUHU's new FTP features more in depth.

There are so many things I would do if I had the resources and of course the wife's approval LOL!
