DFM-17/DFM-09 mis-identification
Added 2024-05-18 06:09:49 +0000 UTCHi all,
We are starting to see misidentifications of DFM-17 sondes as DFM-09 sondes becoming more prevalent over the US.
We're working through a few options for how to better handle mis-identification of DFM17 sondes (based on serial number amongst a few other things), but this will take time to implement, and will probably need software updates at a majority of stations to work.
For now, if you see a 'DFM09' with a serial number starting with 23 or 24 then it's most likely actually a DFM17 (very likely for 24).

It's not a big deal and I may be confused about how it's done but I became a patreon member a several months ago and I've not ever seen my icon change of the map to reflect that status. Is there something else I need to do? WA0YMH
