Hey Mike we need to talk sumtime. I've been trying to get WxMsgs setup for MWS. Think you could help me out?

Sure can. I have been running the software for a few years. It is pretty nice. I just set up the warnings or information I want forwarded to my blackberry and keep up instantly when they are posted. You can set it up to send to email, pagers, I believe it can even sms.

I know you can set it up to post to a website in map form, I belive in text form as well, but haven't done a whole lot with that yet.

Let me know and I'll see what I can do.

In my Explorer is the following:
-Motorola Maxtrac 300 6 Channel UHF Mobile (Used primarily for GMRS)
-Kenwood TM-271 99 Channel VHF Mobile (Used Primarily for DMC SKYWARN Communications)
-Uniden PC 68 40 Channel CB Radio
-Uniden Bearcat BCT8 Triple Trunking scanner (believe this has 150 channels)
-Motorola PBR 40 Mag One VHF 8 Channel Hand Held
-Motorola GP300 UHF 16 Channel Handheld
-Motorola Minitor 4 Voice Pager
-Radio Shack Pro 84 200 Channel Handheld Scanner
-Whistler 1770 Radar Dectector with NOAA Weather Alert
-TOMTOM GPS Navigator
-ShoMe Dash Pro LED (Amber) Mounted to the front window
-Set of 2 ShoMe Trio LED Deck lights (Each mounted in rear side window)
-Illuminator Series Sticks (6 Head) (Mounted to be visible from the rear of the vehicle)

I also have a variety of misc equipment inside my truck to use for any activation, including a hand held wind meter, ANSI Class 2 Safety Vest, CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) Kit issued to me after taking the required training, Spotlight, Flashlight, Ruler, Power Converter, Etc. I hope to add to my collection a laptop computer, and replace my maxtrac with a Kenwood TM471, the twin to my VHF Mobile only its a UHF. I recommend Starting out small, and working your way up. This helps to avoid breaking the bank for a hobby. LOL

Edited to update my equipment list. I expanded... LOL

My Setup
--Vehicles: '99 Ford Explorer (haven't decided if I will be using this as my primary chase vehicle yet) and a 2003 Ford Taurus

--Equipment:
-Laptop is a toshiba satalite
-laptop mount (being used in the explorer) and homemade mount in the Taurus
-Sony camcorder (being used for live video feed) for use on Chasertv.com
-several tripods for both the camcorder and camera equipment
-Uniden BCT7 mobile scanner in truck, Radio Shack scanner in car
-Radio Shack Pro-97 handheld scanner
-Magnetic mount anemometer from inspeed
-Skymaster handheld anemometer
-Wilson wireless amp for cellphone
-Blackberry perl for both phone calls, but mainly to tether with laptop for internet usage. Provider is Verizon Wireless
-2 meter motorola in the car for use with our local fire depts.

Software:
-Gibson Software grl-3
-F5 data
-Delorme w/gps
-Adobe flash media live encoder, for use with live video (chasertv.com)

Camera equipment:
-Canon Rebel Digital with several lens's
-Canon Power Shot A2000 point and shoot (backup)
-Sony camcorder digital 8 for use as live cam (motor for regular video doesn't work anymore so found another use for it)
-JVC GR-D770 Camcorder

I'm thinking that covers most of my equipment. I use my car most of the time for daily activities, so if a storm fires up then I will use the car. But if my chase target takes me outside of state, I maybe using the truck more due to the road networks in Kansas and a few of the western states. I have made a video of my car which I'll slowly update at a later time as I've added some stobes in the headlights and tailights. I'll provide the link below. And eventually I'll add a video of the truck. Most of the equipment is setup to be moved between vehicles in only a few minutes, so I've tried to keep it somewhat simple yet mobile. Eventually, I'll get my amature radio lisence, and then at that time I'll add a ham radio to the list.
