Right now, Xastir will only dump from INET->RF messages intended for stations heard locally, their related position packets, and any NWS (US National Weather Service) packets that match callsigns listed in ~/.xastir/data/nws-stations.txt (only NWS weather report packets are gated to RF, so putting any callsign in nws-stations.txt won't cause Xastir to gate any matching packet). > A separate question: XASTIR 1.2.1 complains about NUM/SCROLL/CAPSLOCK > being engaged when I right-click the desktop. My notebook keyboard only > has a CAPSLOCK, and it is off. Is there a work-around for this? Xastir doesn't yet do the right filtering to determine if key modifiers like those listed above are enabled, which in some cases (with LessTif, I think) causes Xastir not to process those clicks. Look in the menu File->Configure->Defaults and un-check "Warn if modifier keys". That will disable the message. > Wilbert, ZL2BSJ -- J. Lance Cotton, KJ5O joe@lightningflash.net Three Step Plan: 1.
