This is one of the packets that my weather station is putting out:

2026-05-05 18:36:17 CDT: KF0KFL-13>APWW11,WIDE1-1,WIDE2-2,qAS,KF0KFL-1:/052336z4503.48N/09300.48W_059/002g004t049r000p000P000h40b10100L067vC4 Cloudy at K21D.  Frost Advisory issued by NWS Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN. [18:35]

For some reason the vC4 is showing up in the comments section instead of "soft:". From what i found was that vC4 is the code to use for Cumulus MX 4. If this is not correct, is there a full list of Software/Equipment codes that are recognized by aprs.fi ?

Thanks in advance,
John

APRS.FI uses the TOCALL portion of the APRS packet to identify equipment/software. Your TOCALL is APWW11. You can look it up here:


APRS.FI does not control the TOCALL definitions.
