OK, I guess that I learned something new. So I have to use firenet, not the standard rotate pool?
I remember seeing some talk about Wx Alerts on firenet before, but I assumed that was targeted to people who wanted to optionally use that feed AND get alerts. If I remember correctly, we are NOT supposed to inject additional data / objects into firenet. I am currently running Xastir as a bi-directional I-Gate and Wx Station. So if I understand this correctly, I can either have an I-Gate with the rotate feed, or I can get (and Gate to RF) Wx alerts from firenet, but not both. Is this correct? Curt, I think it was about a week and a half ago that I compiled from latest and got and ran the latest NWS script, so it should pretty much be up to date.
