Well, there's certainly ONE way to do it, but I'm not sure I'd recommend it. Then again, if you're just getting things going then maybe it's not such a bad solution for you. Here it is: Stop Xastir, delete the ~/.xastir/config/xastir.cnf file, then restart Xastir. NOTE: This will get rid of all of your default settings, your callsign, your interfaces you have configured, etc. Another method is to just rename that file so that Xastir can't find it. Xastir will recreate the file using defaults when you next start up. If you rename the file then you can bring that up in a viewer or editor and refer to it as you'rer recreating your settings. Now that's been said, there are some other things you can do that might be less drastic. *) Check your Configure->Defaults->Active Alternate net box. Make sure it is not checked. *) Check the Station->Filter Data settings *) Check the Station->Filter Display settings *) Check Configure->Timing to see if you might be expiring stations very quickly, although you should just see fewer station with bad settings here, not zero stations.
