Weather onboard with the
Computer
Weather information and nautical warning messages are broadcast
worldwide on shortwave. Using special software this information can
then be displayed on a computer. With that it is possible to
evaluate complex weather data, even for a layman. You don’t need a
degree in meteorology to comprehend a general weather pattern. With
a SSB-radio and the ProMeteo 2.0 software you can record and display
WeatherFax, forecasts, Navtex and CW (morse code) worldwide.
Low-Cost – the cheaper the better …?
There are many programs which are able to receive ‚Weather’ from a
radio, even freeware you can download from the internet. At first
glance these programs seem to do everything a beginner needs.
However, it soon becomes clear to the more discriminating user that
this software is applicable explicitly for home brewers and radio
amateurs. If you went and bought a radio and software you will soon
realize that you made a mistake.
For 30 years our competition has been able to sell such software to
beginners. That’s not good for you. This is why BONITO developed a
program that’s not cheap but affordable. It definitely offers more
than our competition, and the great thing about it: you won’t make a
mistake because the program can be upgraded as your requirements go
up.
ProMeteo 2.0 Features:
WeatherFax:
In all common formats and drum rotation speeds. Using the tools we
provide you can even repair illegible images.
RTTY, Navtex Forecasts
and Warnings:
are saved automatically and displayed pre-sorted in geographical
areas. Received warnings are marked red to make them more
recognizable.

Time-controlled Receiver-Management:
If the radio is controllable the radio frequency is adjusted
automatically. The frequency manager hosts a database of all known
broadcasting stations and their parameters. All you have to do is
double-click on a list entry. With the integrated ScheduleManager
you have access to the time schedules of the broadcasting stations,
and you can create a joblist using the integrated TimeManager. The
joblist controls the receiver every day and keeps track of
everything.
Of course, you can also use
non-controllable radios thanks to the tuning support.
All received data is displayed in the ResultViewer while reception
continues in the background. Old data and images are automatically
deleted.
