Better said than what I said. Thanks Dan.

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?
Thanks

I noticed that when speech is activated with "tracked station", the
proximity alerts enumerate how close the tracked station is in relation
to every other station within the distance parameter. This seems like an
awful waste of resources and very annoying. My thought is that I would
only want this station to tell me where it is at in relation to me. I
could care less where it is at in relation to each weather station,
mobile on the highway, base station and digipeater. Am I wrong or
missing some point?
I believe this feature was added to support a particular event.
Memory is fuzzy, but I think it might have been the NYC Marathon or
similar. The idea was that they could listen to the speech instead
of having to watch the map to know where each tracker was in
relation to each checkpoint along the course.
