getting set up to recieve weatherfax

Post by Bruce Janssen »

Can anyone help me set up recieving weather faxs? I have a yacht boy and a new lap top and the cord to connect them, i got "Understanding weatherfax" (it seems a bit dated) and "Passport to world radio", but am still somewhat lost. I downloaded Mscan Medeo but it doesn't seem to work. Whats the best and easiest software, can you get it free? Does the fact that I live in the mtns in colorado have something to do with it?

You need to have a modem between the radio and the PC. See:

for one of the most common setups.
