I know this is off topic for this list, but I'm trying to find people who are using the Avmap EKP IV GPS and XM weather.



I recently added the just released XM weather option on my EKP IV GPS. The problem I'm having is that I only receive METARs and nothing else. I'm hoping someone on this list has the same GPS and weather combo as I do so I can ask some questions and compare notes. Please email me at annken100(at)aol.com 



I have spoken with tech support from XM, Avmap, and WxWorx and so far I'm told that I am one of only three people who has this problem. Oddly enough, the three of us activated our receivers around the same time. 



Thank you, 



Ken Pavlou

When you talked to XM did they try a reauthorization. If not call them and have them do it. There should be NO cost for this.

Gig,



If by "reauthorization" you mean a receiver refresh, yes it's been done.  In fact my account has been deactivated and reactivated  and refreshed several times.  The people at Avmap think that the problem is in the XM signal and how my account is configured.  It is an isolated problem and Avmap thinks that a solution will be found towards the end of the week.

Yep that is exactly what I meant.  You can always try a hammer.

I thought about a hammer.   That is why I ordered a static sensitive hammer made specifically for electronics just in case it's needed.
