Nope. That data is used *only* to add a "PHG" extension to your outgoing packets so others can see what your advertised range is. Xastir does nothing else with this information. You must just have had a hard time decoding incoming packets for a while. The TT4 might not be hearing so well. It's just a coincidence that changing your PHG settings in the station set-up happened around the same time that the TT4 had a bunch of good decodes. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM In some cultures what I do would be considered normal. -- Ineffective daily affirmation _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
