Just looked through the mailing list archives and found a post that
states that the ADS-WX unit sends data in the same format as the Ultimeter 2000
in data logging mode, and that all one needs to do is tell Xastir it's got
a serial WX station attached --- Xastir detects the unit as an Ultimeter 2000
from the format of data it receives.  Some of the data the Ultimeter sends
is not sent by the ADS unit, but none of the data you need for a valid
APRS WX report is missing.
