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)
