That is a very large assumption. The big question is why do the gateway stations that show up on Xastir not have there own switch to show or not show? Or at least let us set them up with an tactical call, why was that disable in the first place? Thanks... tomorrow will tell On Oct 30,

Correct, objects currently can not have tactical calls ... too bad, something to work on. Also; here are some notes about creating objects in the ~/.xastir/ config/object.log 1) The format is very specific (see examples), spacing and length of name after the initial semi-colon, plus the

Suppose I want to create an object for all the local hospitals in our area for a SET we have this weekend. Is there a way to create a file, in advance, and just activate it when needed? Similar maybe to the way we can create a file for tactical calls?

I would want them to be transmitted over RF. What would be the format if I wanted to use a text editor to set them up, with about 10 to do that would take much less time than one at a time inside of Xastir. On Oct 30, 2008, at 10:46 AM, Curt, WE7U wrote: On Thu, 30 Oct 2008, Keith Kaiser

More specifically Curt what I would like to do is this. I want only tactical calls to show up and I want whatever objects I have created to show up. Since I can not assign tactical calls to objects or even in some cases items like packet gateways, I have to find another way for them to

The best way to handle this is run your APRS stations on a frequency other than 144.39. This assumes you don't need, or can replace, all the digipeaters and other infrastructure on 144.39. Craig On Oct 30, 2008, at 9:22 AM, Keith Kaiser wrote: More specifically Curt what I would like to
