It would be good to have the option to use the festival feature with just the current station being tracked, or with a given callsign(s).
I like the voice feature, but it becomes completely worthless and overloads festival's buffer when there are more than 3-4 callsigns inside the maximum area, depending on the GPS update time. I have had to wait 10 minutes for the buffer to "read" itself out in busy areas. I use xastir in my car laptop, and it would become even more invaluable with the above features. My main use would be to hear how close I was to another unit when roaming around a course in a public service event. Any hope of implementation?
