No PIREPs at this time. I understand they ARE working on it. It's a matter
of them being made available in a form they can readily use.

I know you can get PIREPS on line from
http://adds.aviationweather.noaa.gov/pireps/
but the format isn't transferable at this time. (What I am told.)

Having said that, I have had good results from calling Huntsville and
getting help from Lyle.

OK, good deal, sounds like they have a good product in the works. I
fly in the Pacific NW and icing (and, perhaps more importantly,
tops/layer) pireps are quite important to the overall picture, that's
why the curiosity.

Thanks for the note, look forward to more XM-capable hardware. If
someone could cram the receiver (or even just display capability) into
a $2K handheld unit, that would be awesome.
