Re: [Xastir] Grid Squares

What I've done is created a directory (/usr/local/share/xastir/maps/Maidenhead) and then put the grid squares I'm interested in in that directory (for example, EM78.*, EM79.*, etc. Then reindex them and they will show up in the Map Chooser. is controlled in the associated dbfawk file, as color

As an aside, if you have a LaCrosse 2300 series, Google "open2300". It can read the 2300 series and feed it to CWOP (cw2300). That's how I did it and then had it spit it back to Xastir. Now I run an instance of javAPRSServer to mesh all my APRS stuff (including open2300 and Xastir) so there
