> Why did you guys remove the SEND button for warngen and what happens if u > hit send again? We have removed the send capability from the Unidata educational and research versions of AWIPS that we distribute. Using the "send" button in CAVE posts that message on EDEX, meaning those messages go out to anyone connected to our EDEX server and we can't have the general public generating warnings/ images/text replicating the work of the National Weather Service. We currently don't have any plans on re-enabling this functionality.
