I just noticed that a Winter Storm Watch has been issued for our area. I'm
glad to see Xastir has automatically sent out this object via RF and via
aprs.fi. However, the comment text appears to have been truncated. The
object was LOTWSW and the comment on the object is "Winter Storm Wa"
That causes some ambiguity between watch and warning. Is there any way to
set it so it at least says "Winter Storm Warning"? Ideally it's say
something like "Wint. Storm Warn exp 1900 THU" as indicated in the bulletin
but, hey, maybe we'll get there down the road.
Just a suggestion. thanks.
You're confusing me Mike (easily done these days!). Xastir doesn't send out
such things. Xastir displays such things though. I don't know what is
creating the object.
We have winter weather alerts lighting up the NW area right now, plus in
Xastir's View->Weather Alerts dialog I see "WINTER_WEATHER".
I'm the one generating most of the alerts that go to Firenet and get
displayed by Xastir. I don't remember creating any objects though, just NWS
packets that light up counties and zones. T hose packets get interpreted by
the various APRS software packages to light up the areas on the map.
Must be someone else generating the objects. Are you hooked to APRS-IS or
Firenet?
Huh. LOTWSW tracks back to your call. Maybe I need to go look through the
Xastir code to see what I forgot. I didn't think we generated any objects
based on the weather alerts.
