The system is divided into several modules each performing a specific task.

With Metar information you are able to request worldwide weather information from ICAO weather stations provided by NOAA.

Example available stations are:

# 1# 2# 3# 4# 5# 6# 7#

AIRPORTS=KSEA,KOLM,KPAE,KPDX,KAST,KBVS,KBLI

To get a list of predefined stations send 01# while the METAR module is active.

To request METAR info from an available station issue the station number followed by a #.

Example: For Bellingham activate METAR with 5# and send 7# after it's active.

Not issuing a station number will result in a default of KSEA.

Send a single number sign to leave the module.

In addition there are a number of built-in commands not associated with modules that return information about the repeater.
