I don't think there would be an issue here in the US. The limitation is
in the protocol. The comment field can carry the fully qualified
callsign and since, at least here, the id packet should be sent every
ten minutes, or less. That would meet the US requirement. I am not sure
what the ID requirement are in New Zealand but if the ID time is set
appropriately, there should be no issue. But then again , always contact
the licensing authority or ham club for more accurate information.
Good luck on the solar race and have a hot, clear, sunny day.

The AX.25 spec limits the call to 6 alphanumeric characters plus one byte for
SSID, so that's not a limitation of Xastir. Your friend's best bet is to put
his full callsign in the station comment field.

Got a bit of a situation. College kid I've been working with for a few
years is currently in New Zeland. He's going to be going to Austrailia
to race a solar powered vehicle here in a few weeks.
He wants to use Xastir and a tracker to follow what's going on. BUT, he
can't get his reciprocal call sign into the station config dialog. He
wants to use KE7ESD/ZL-15 - and that's too many characters.
Is there an easy way to change that - even if just for his copy - or
maybe a separate SSID box or reciprocal box? You guys are the pros - I
just come up with problems.
Thanks!
