I know that this has been discussed before, but I seem to be missing
something.
My goal is to gate severe weather alerts to RF. I have had a nws-stations.txt
file setup for a few weeks now in the ~/.xastir/data directory. I have
restarted Xastir a couple of times since then, if that makes a difference.
I have the AWIPS files installed if that matters.
I have Disable all IGate Traffic enabled in the IGate Options of the AX.25 TNC
Interface. I am not interesting in functioning as a general purpose IGate. I
am only interesting in gating Wx alerts to RF. We have plenty of IGates here
in the Orlando area already.
We had a few Severe Thunderstorm and Tornado Warnings today from the local NWS
office (MLB). I did not gate any of them to RF.
I looked in the Weather Alerts window and I see the warnings there. I had the
red alert "boxes" on the screen, until just a few minutes ago, when the
warnings expired.
Here is the text from one of the warnings listed in the Weather Alerts window;
MLBTOR BLQAA NWS_WARN 11 @2126z ==> 11 @2215z YI FL_C061 TORNADO
Here is what my nws-stations.txt looks like;
#Melbourne, FL, USA
MLB
#
KMLB
#
I put the KMLB in there because I had noticed that some of the Previous Wx
alerts that I found on the web seemed to *maybe* come from KMLB instead of
MLB. I was not sure and I figured that it would not hurt.
So, is the problem that I have Disable all IGate Traffic enabled ?
Will I have to become a "full service" IGate to gate weather alerts to RF?
Thanks
