Yes, Curt, that would be fine. I did follow Tom, KM5VY's advice about
the need for being hooked up with one of the APRS-IS servers. But,
now, I need to wait for severe weather to test. Yes, documenting this
would be most advantageous for us relatively new to xastir. I'll wait
for you to initiate.

OK, I did look at the wiki, but it's still not clear to me
"exactly" what is needed to get Wx Alerts to show up on the map.
It's seems that the Wx Alert references are scattered amongst a
number of links in the wiki.
I have run the script, and done the enabling per above
instructions. Now, I see where I might have to be "connected" to a
server??? I am not using xastir as an iGate. I din't see the need
to be connected in the wiki for Wx Alerts. Maybe it was in one of
the many links I did not rabbit-chase down. What am I missing?
In other words, in one concise place, are there docs that spell out
(from start to finish) what has to be set up in xastir, what has to
be working outside of xastir, etc to get the confounded Wx Alerts
working? If not, then what would be the best way of tracking this
down so it's not so obscured?
I apologize for the frustrating tone of this email, but I'm at my
wits-end...
I was quite busy when you wrote that, so couldn't jump on it. Can
we start a private dialog between you and I to work through the
issues, what you've done so far, and figure out a works-every-time
procedure? We can then create a Wiki page on the topic to help the
next person who needs it.
I may have to set up a VirtualBox or VMWare Linux instance to test
it out with a clean install. Or borrow one of my kids' machines
remotely: I think one of those machines is still Xastir-free.
