Hi,

  Was wondering about a feature where one or more NMEA serial streams could be 
monitored.  Currently Xastir will only consider one stream and that is what is 
used for the base "station" position.  There are some other tracking options in 
the 33cm ISM band that telemeter the NMEA words to a receiver like a connected 
USB (or B/T) GPS.  There isn't a straight forward way for Xastir to deal with 
that.
One can use the GPS input with Xastir to monitor the remote tracked station but 
then the ability to monitor one's "true" position is lost.
There is an NMEAtoAPRS python script but again there are limitations.
  An option for Xastir to monitor another NMEA stream through another port 
would be nice.  I'm not a programmer but I suspect it might not
be that hard to code?        Kurt KC9LDH
