No. Xastir does not respond to APRSS. If you look in db.c, you will see this block of code: // NOT IMPLEMENTED YET // Check for proper usage of the APRSS query if (!ok && strncmp(message,"APRSS",5)==0) { ok = 1; } I guess nobody who cared about that directed query ever had time to implement it. The implementation would go right before the "ok = 1" line. Thing is that Xastir doesn't currently support a station status, so you'd also have to implement that before being able to return it with a query response. At this time, there's only a few queries that Xastir responds to. Looking at db.c, I see these are: ?VER (return software version) ?APRSD (return list of stations heard direct) ?APRSP (force a position report) ?APRST or ?PING (return a trace) > I've got a separate question, too: > > In File -> Configure -> Defaults, there's a text box > to the right of "Pop up new bulletins" without a > label. Currently it has "XASTIR" in it. What is it? > (ver 1.9.0) I never really looked at that very carefully, but it really is a confusing layout. The thing in the line edit box is meant to be the alternate net name, and is meant to go with the check box directly above it, "Activate Alternate Net?" >From the help file (Help->Help Index->Configure Default Operation): You can also select "Activate alternate net?" and choose an altnet call from this dialog. Altnet allows you to have a private APRS(tm) network among the stations that also have altnet configured, and have the same altnet call entered. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
