To accomodate the addition of remote water gages to APRS, two symbols have been designated for such use: /w is the water symbol \w is the flood symbol Typically a water gage above flood stage would switch to the flood symbol. The water level is added as a fixed length field of Fxxxx where xxxx is from -999 to +999 centimeters. In addition, we are adding Vvvv for indicating volts in tenths. Thus V128 would be 12.8 volts for this instrument. Notice that this format is similar to that used for all WX parameters, and since the APRS WX format is extensible, these Fxxxx and Vvvv can be added to any existing weather report without breaking anything. Similarly, when the specific water symbols are used, then only the Fxxxx or optional Vvvv are needed, but an entire weather report can also be added if additional isntruments are available. The proposed spec is shown on the APRS1.2 proposed addendum page: http://www.ew.usna.edu/~bruninga/aprs/watergage.txt de Wb4APR, Bob
