CWOP Message Construct

[Bob]

 I have been following a CWOP (wxqa)  thread that indicates that the CWOP data string has changed from the current Wview format. The information listed stated that the "TCPXX*, qAX." should actually be "TCPIP*" only. The reporters stated that some of the CWOP servers will reject the message from Wview if it does not follow the latter format This is apparently a change that is being implemented to all of the servers. Has this topic been addressed or has anyone modified the cwop.c file to change the format?

Thanks,
Bob

first i've heard of it, though i noticed my cwop data hadn't been recorded for a long time

would changing "%s>APRS,TCPXX*,qAX,%s:@" to "%s>APRS,TCPIP*,%s:@" in cwop.c do the trick? (%s is callsign in all cases)

I have modified mine thus:

115,116c115,116

<     length = sprintf (cwopBuffer, "%s>APRS,TCPXX*,qAX,%s:@", 

<                       cwopWork.callSign, cwopWork.callSign);

---

>     length = sprintf (cwopBuffer, "%s>APRS,TCPIP*:@", 

>                       cwopWork.callSign);

After recompiling have had no issues.

i changed my wview/cwop to the below code. two cwop messages have been sent (30 mins apart) but http://www.wxqa.com/cgi-bin/search1.cgi?keyword=DW4311 (my station) reports "no data". how long should i wait before expecting it to appear?

Not an expert, but if you have previously seen your data, then I would expect it to show up immediately in findu's raw search. Can you paste your cwop log data? You data may not have been showing up previously for some other reason....even before I modified my cwop code yesterday, my cwop data was fine..

Last report from DW4311 received 187 days 20 hours 15 minutes 2 seconds ago

well, the updates as below have been chugging out every half hour for the last 6 hours… perhaps the format is still not correct?

i should mention config: i use aunz.aprs2.net:14580 for all three server slots (this could be problem? i think i changed a while ago under advisement)

I suspect that is the problem. Shouldnt you be using cwop.aprs.net? I see that the aunz address has no servers in common with the cwop.aprs.net address. Someone more experienced here might have to answer that.... I would try changing it tho to quickly see if that is the problem....

The faq says all cwop servers - - - cwop.aprs.net : port 14580 or port 23 - - - this links to all four CWOP servers.

I think Mark has solved this for the next version of wview. See: http://www.wviewweather.com/mantis/view.php?id=271

with those changes, working now

i recall i changed the servers because some australian mob were hosting an aprs node, that must've fallen in a hole after a while

I see you are still sending TCPXX*  from what I have heard you might want to make sure each server is actually accepting your data. I dont know how you would do that...perhaps another person here can help in that regard.
