Another question: you say you're reporting "independently through CWOP" -- is your data going into APRS via that independent means using the same callsign/ssid as your Xastir station, and are you receiving these reports into Xastir through an APRS-IS connection? Do any other WX stations in your APRS-IS feed show the same behavior? I'm looking through the source code, and Xastir *is* trying to do the right thing with "complete weather reports" (the ones where course/speed looks exactly like a station's course and speed, but with additional data being present to make it clear that this is a wx report, not a moving station). But I'm wondering if Xastir sees the data as being its own (because of matching callsign/SSID), and adding the course/speed to its internal record of its own course/speed before it goes on to parse the weather parts of the record. Does the behavior change if you change the callsign/ssid of Xastir to something different than your external program that's feeding CWOP? -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
