weather fax

Hey Bob.

We don’t have a weatherfax. We have a SSB radio and will have a laptop with a sound card. We have not chosen software yet, but check out http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLR,GGLR:2006-46,GGLR:en&q=soundcard+ssb+weatherfax specifically the weatherfax 2000.

There is also free software. Take a look through the possibilities and let me know what you learn.

BTW – I copied walterpiescik.offshoreweather.blogger.com, which should create a post on the offshore weather blog.

hey



i read the book about weather fax and am currently reading the other weather book. the first one made a bunch of recommendations as to what weather fax to get. do you have one? if so what type? this is just so i can look up possibilities for times to check, automatic printout, automatic time slots, etc.

re-post from general blog

Looks like we could have old school weather faxes http://weather.noaa.gov/fax/marsh.shtml and Southbound Herb http://www3.sympatico.ca/hehilgen/vax498.htm free. it would be really nice to have XM or Sirius weather, but that would run from $800 for laptop software to ~$2000 for the capability in a new, integrated color chartplotter.
