Returned from a week off. Went to visit the kids @ Schools and snuck up to yellowStone for a couple of days, Great to get away from the heat for a while. A couple more weeks and we should begin to back off to below 100. Today, I got the XM weather receiver working. Built the harness and connected it to the Headsup receiver. Actually I used the SL40 com harness from the OP Tech displays and ternimated it to the Heads up box. I was short an RS232 port so I gave up the COM2 in favor of the weather. Initially I thought it wasn't working but after a couple e-mails w/ Mark @ Op Tech to clarify, I found it was in fact working, I connected the antenna I purchased, and VIOLA! I got NEXRAD images displayed. I was a bit surprosed because I hadn't activated my XM account. The Headsup manual says something about thre being a default account avail for initial testing perhaps that's waht was going on. I wasn't able to display all of the weather products, and have a message into Mark for some more clarification. Unfortunately my batteries went below 10v and the systems dropped 'offline' I'll recharge them overnight and set up an 'official account tomorrow'. fortunattely there is some weather activity in the area so I got some GOOD radar images
