I think that the weather information is the issue. Not sure exactly why it should be, but I think xastir won't look past it. I've noticed that xastir will not *transmit* PHG information along with my weather information. Other stations in this area that run APRS+SA and weather transmit one packet with weather info, then a plain station packet with PHG info, and I just guessed that for some reason PHG data extensions aren't supposed to be after weather data; but a quick read of the spec just now suggests that I'm wrong to guess that. It's something that's puzzled me, but never enough to get me to look into the code to see why. It could be that xastir simply isn't looking for data extensions after the weather data. It certainly doesn't put them in.
The spec doesn't allow for extensions in a weather packet, only in a position packet: "A fixed-length 7-byte field may follow APRS position data. This field is an APRS Data Extension. The extension may be one of the following:" -snip- "PHGphgd Station Power and Effective Antenna Height/Gain/ Directivity" 73 - Matt KB0KQA _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list Xastir@xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
