Introduction

The Weather app is supposed to decode AM modulated common weather stations signals

You can check the currently supported protocols here: baseband/fprotos

Controls

  • Frequency selector: use rotary encoder or click on it to pop frequency key pad.
  • Temperature unit selector: use the rotary encoder to switch from Celsius to Fahrenheit.
  • AMP: 0 OFF, 1 ON (beware of strong signals).
  • LNA: use rotary encoder to change Low Noise Amplification.
  • VGA: use rotary encoder to change Variable Gain Amplification.
  • Volume: If beep on packet is enabled in main page settings, then it's the volume at which they will be played.
  • Clear: click to clear the displayed list.
  • Log: hit the checkbox to save the results in a log file.

Important

This program is sensitive to signal strength, so if you set values too high or too low, it will not be able to decode.

Ideal values are around: AMP 0, LNA 32, VGA 20. If still nothing, play with these values, try to reduce or increment.

Common frequencies:

  • 433.92 MHz (EU)
  • 315 MHz (US, Japan)
  • 868 MHz (EU + others)
  • 915 MHz (US, Japan)
