AWXRadar is a Program that automatically downloads the latest Australian Bureau of Meteorology Weather Radar Images from their web site. The program places the WX Radar images in a nominated sub-directory, which can be your UI-View Maps directory. If you have a .INF map reference file of the same name as the image in the directory, UI-View will load the WX Radar Image as a UI-View Map and display it.
A new version of AWXRadar (ver 2.00) is available for downloading at http://www.qsl.net/kb2scs
AWXRadar was written by John KB2SCS.
I would like to thank John for all the work he has done to write this program.
Note - These files are not currently avalible.
Files names of the downloaded images comprise of the name of the BOM Radar site name with a prefix of AWX1_ for 128Km images and AWX2_ for 256Km images.
The current collection of .INF files for AWXRadar are avalible from http://www.aprs.net.au/awxradar. This list will be added to as time permits.
If you have created your own .INF file for an AWXRadar image please email it to Richard VK3JFK. who will add them to the list.
