Re: Green Bay WINLINK RMS gateway

Re: GB DMR Repeater -- New System October 2017

The ARS and InfoGateway system has been completely rebuilt

WeatherUnderground disabled their weather API some time ago; weather report (noaa <zip>) is disabled pending me getting some time to adapt a different API into the system.
