This is very puzzling. Do you have your station type set to "fixed station" in the File->Configure->Defaults box while you're doing this downloading? I don't see why that would matter, but perhaps it does. Also, you could try firing up xastir with debug level 257 (station and trail display detailed debugging + general basic debugging) and capture the output to a file: xastir -v 257 > xastir.out 2>&1 in a terminal window, and watch what it says it's doing while it decodes the findu trail. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
