Hi all, I remember I had a discussion with Curt quite a while ago about having the option to turn off transmitting of certain objects, but continue transmitting others. I was wondering if any work had been done on accomplishing that?
I also have a suggestion to have a couple more audio alarms added. Currently Xastir can alert you when it has heard a new station, you have received a message, a station is located within your proximity settings, there is a band opening, and a weather alert has been received. I'm hoping additional alerts can be added for when your station transmits a position packet, and when that packet is echoed from a digipeater. I have had the opportunity to use a Kenwood TH-D7 while portable on a mock search and rescue when we were testing the digipeater function of a mobile mounted TM-D700. It was really nice using the D7 because I had it set to beep when it transmitted a position packet and also beep when the echo was heard from the digipeater. Because of this, just by ear I knew when I had transmitted my position, and when I had made it into the digipeater. These extra audio alerts don't seem like they would be too difficult to add, but I think they would be very helpful to have especially when mobile. And if they were set up just like the existing alerts anyone not wishing to use them could just turn them off. I recall seeing a version 2 mentioned at times on here. Does anyone know where any information on that is located? Would that be on the Xastir developer list? Thanks for the time, Brett KC9MWG _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
