D Weather station transmission

When you transmit as a weather station, you should
set the weather station's settings, and input the
weather data into the [USB] port. You can input the
weather data from a third party's weather device by
converting it to the APRS weather format in your PC
or microcomputer.
After completing the weather station's settings, and
inputting the weather data, you can transmit as a
weather station.
NOTE: To input the Weather data into the [USB]
port, set "USB (B) Function" to "Weather."
If the weather data is not input into the [USB] port,
you cannot transmit as a weather station.
