OK, I'll modify the xastir_udp_client documentation to note that injecting objects or items into Xastir using the same callsign/SSID as Xastir's will cause Xastir to own the object and retransmit it in the same way that it does objects created via its interface. On Thu, Jan 20, 2022 at 01:49:09PM

I have not played with Xastir for some time, but yes that side-effect did exist as I remember using it. I would also agree it occurred only when using the same callsign and ssid as the Xastir instance. Brett KQ9N On Thu, Jan 20, 2022 at 1:33 PM Curt Mills wrote: > Yes, that description of how

Yes, that description of how they get adopted fits my fuzzy recollection of same. Perhaps others who have used that side-effect feature can comment. It'd be good to add a blurb to the man-page about the possibility, so people don't get confused when things work differently than they expect. On

Thinking about that another few seconds, the "Those of us who aren't as accomplished with Git" bit probably means just myself, as we have only three developers at present. On Thu, Jan 20, 2022 at 11:13 AM Curt Mills wrote: > > Commented-out lines: Seems to be a common complaint of yours these >

Commented-out lines: Seems to be a common complaint of yours these days. Those of us who aren't as accomplished with Git, not using it everyday, tend to keep possibly-useful code around in this form. Feel free to get rid of such lines, at the expense of making it harder for some of us to look up

The code is pretty hard to read and is peppered with blocks of commented-out code that have been that way since 2005. There used to be some attempt to treat the injected stuff as third-party only if its callsign was different from Xastir's, but all that is commented out and stuff injected by

It's fuzzy in my memory now, but I believe there may be a side-effect in Xastir as well (which can be taken advantage of in some cases) where if the call and SSID are the same as the Xastir instance when injecting packets in via xastir_udp_client, Xastir can take up re-transmitting those packets

I can't explain what Liz is doing, but Xastir supports "wxnow.txt" format weather reports in a somewhat kludgy way. Does your weather station by any chance support such a format? The trick is to run a little perl kludge I wrote that masquerades as a Davis Meteo database server --- but instead of
