In checking the station details, he/she is showing a range of 20 miles.
Remember, that number is based on a clear shot. Burnett County is not
that flat and is tree laden. The effective range for the station will be
less. It appears that in a 50 mile radius of Burnett, I count four
stations
Another possibility is to look at Byonics.com. They make units that work
great for APRS trackers.
They may be a possibility.

This is where the compositing/layers come in handy. I have the radar
image on the lowest layer, the county layout above that, the street map
above, then the cities as the top layer.
This way, Xastir does the layering work.

I have a fresh install of Fedora 7 production. Refer to previous emails
about 1.9 and Fedora 7.
I downloaded the CVS devel package and compiled. It runs with no issues

It sounds like this is a bad install of Fedora 7.

Something additional...when you do the dmesg look,
also do a lsusb run from the command line. dmesg
will tell you if the USB dongle bound or not - lsusb
is sterile. If the USB handler does not recognize the
vendor/product id's, it won't work.
