Aprs Help

[n3tvv]

We have an APRS weather station at our repeater,which was placed there by our former club president using his call

He is now a Silent Key,so the club would like to get this it changed from his call to the club's call ?
I was unable to find help section regarding this,or any kind of email here..

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Do yo uhave any idea the wx station or equipment in use ? Older ones used a KPC3 with serial to a WX station. What is the old call ?

 

[AK9R]

There should be a TNC wired between the weather station and the radio. What brand and model is the TNC?

 

[n3tvv]

I have no idea what type of equipment he used, wasn't sure if the callsign can be changed here or if we have to do it at the station itself ..

You most likely need to do it at the station but without knowing the equipment its hard for us to help. If someone can get pictures or determine the model it will help. If you can give us the current call sign maybe we can see if it tells us online what is used for equipment.

The cable needs to be a USB-A to USB-B (printer cable).

what do you mean "here"? radio reference has nothing to do with your local infrastructure.

“Here” as in remotely using DTMF via RF, versus driving to the repeater site.
