I've been having a conversation with KC5FM-9, and not sure
what to think here.
Thursday, when I was home, I was using Xastir with the
internet feed, and KC5FM-9 had the word "EMERGENCY" in his position
comment field -- I think it originally said "EMERGENCY MANAGER" or
something similar.
Every time I'd receive his position, Xastir would pop up a
window asking if I wanted to find that station. I finally asked a
friend of mine, who lives close to him, to ask him to change the
beacon. I get the impression that I offended him, and the last thing
I got from him was:
The Status text has been changed.
The more I think of this, the more I am convinced that your choice of
software is the culprit. I don't show up in the emergency beacons at
http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/emergency.cgi
as well as UI-View over the internet and the Kenwood radio in the EOC.
I am interested (and will check soon) what effect the emergency beacon
that triggers the Findu output has on the software and radios. I am
told that the Kenwood locks up until the operator attends to the
alarm. I am also told other software reacts differently, from Bells
and Whistles to nothing at all.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

So, MY question -- is Xastir perhaps "too sensitive" to the
word "EMERGENCY"? Is this something that needs to be looked into?
I'm currently running version 1.9.1 under VMWare.
