Optional automatic DF interface to Doppler DF units for automatic plotting of DF bearings. For more DF info, see the DF.txt file. APRS position reports can also include the wind speed and direction, as well as other important weather conditions.
All weather stations show up as a blue circle, with a line indicating wind speed and direction.
The NEXT command in APRS will successively highlight each WX station in turn, for WX at a glance. APRS also has a database of the locations of most NWS sites and can crunch a file of NWS hourly WX conditions for display. Finally, APRS users can set WX alarms and be alerted when WX conditions exceed those values. The positional display and real-time user communications makes APRS an ideal tool for the DX cluster user. Not only does he get to see all DX spots on the map, but by operating in the monitor only mode, he has reduced the overall packet load on the DX cluster.
