[Xastir] Position transmit timing

Hi all I have xastir set to transmit position reports every 5 minutes (Configure|Timing|Posit TX Interval). (5 minutes may be too often but I am only using this temporarily for testing). I would like to set the timing to every 15 minutes. However xastir is beaconing every 30 minutes
