I was waiting to answer this one until I could duplicate it. I've been busy so didn't try to send a bulletin via a script to the APRS-IS or anything. I just waited until my system had been stuck for a while with a bulletin dialog on the screen. Happened this morning, or rather yesterday from a series of new bulletin sent. Checking the raw packets on Findu, my station kept sending the entire time. I suspected that'd be the case due to the way the code is written, but wanted to verify first. -- Curt, WE7U: <www.eskimo.com/~archer/> XASTIR: <www.xastir.org> "Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math." -- unknown "Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates." -- WE7U The world DOES revolve around me: I picked the coordinate system! _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list Xastir@xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
