Good morning all...
I'm new to the forum - found this post while looking for solutions to what I'll call "the two console problem." Or, better said, I want one console in the family room for the family to use, which having another back here in the ham-shack connected to my computer for logging and CWOP/APRS. (I am an amateur radio operator / severe weather spotter)
I *was* very excited, as it seems like the XBee solution would do exactly what I wanted. But, reading through the thread, it seems like units with the latest firmware do not work with the XBee link. If I were to buy a Vantage Vue (like I was really close to doing this morning!) I would not be able to use the XBee to do what I wanted.
But, then it got really confusing - it seems like in the last few posts, there was confirmation that some external, non-Davis software was working, through what I assume to be the serial pins on the console.
My question then becomes this:
If I were to buy a Vantage Vue today, would the unit I receive be capable of using the XBee link? Please pardon if this was conclusively answered elsewhere - I've tried to search looking for "XBee and 3.12" but the search returns nothing. Most likely operator error...
thanks much and 73,
